Loved to grooves
Loads of fun for learning this key. Reinforcing the same concepts with further grooves, patterns and tips. Plus loved the little improv scale
Well explained
Enjoyed step by step revision of the key of B flat major. Found the backing track just a little too fast for some of it. I downloaded the backing track but it does not seem to have the capability to vary the tempo so that I can gradually build up the speed while playing along with it.
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.
