It was challenging but a lot of fun
I love how the pieces are built up. The piece that we are working on is very nice . It motivate you to practice.
Initial tune was easier
I liked that the initial tune was easier and loved learning syncopation!
Mastering B-flat is where it's at!
I have spent a solid 7-9 days working on this Core Unit. I not only feel very confident in playing B-flat Major chord progressions in various inversions, but I also really enjoyed working on the tune PWJ Avenue. It was fun and I learned so much about B-flat. I especially like learning the "Grooves" and getting a feel for playing syncopated rhythms in both hands as well as learning accompaniment techniques! This is what I signed up for!! Great instruction!!!
Well structured and easy to understand
I liked the pace and flow of this course.
Key of Bb major
Like the way it slowly leads up to some simple syncopation, emphasises playing slowly then building up speed
