Thorough
Enjoyed completing this course in Bb Major. I had been avoiding the flat keys (not sure why... I am happy to play B Major and F# Major). This course was thorough in taking me through the scales, chords and inversions and I'm now feeling comfortable with Bb Major. Very happy.
This course is great! Learning something fun and doing it with both hands while learning multiple ways to play.
Fun stuff. This was my first course and I am very pleased!
awesome course
I like the course structure. It arranged in very easy manner. i never thought that it was like that. You can track ur progress in piano path. Very nice awesome.
That was a lot of fun. Really catchy tune and loved the 5 note improv.
Easy enough yet challenging. Especially the last accompaniment lesson. I recorded the melody and then played accompaniment over the top which was really challenging but did get to 120 bpm. I never could get to where I could sing over the accompaniment it correctly.
Informative, Fun and Inspiring
The pace of the courses was great. Each time adding new theory and skills. I felt that learning the key and the techniques was an important step on piano journey.
