Key of B flat
Another good course. Thank you.
Return to piano lessons
I am a classically trained pianist with a lot of hang-ups around playing the wrong notes. This course is helping me to understand the chords, chord progressions and chord inversions. Hopefully soon I can over come my fear of playing it wrong and just play.
I think I am a beginner, but the step by step progression, and repeatedly playing slow got me there.
The cool syncopated rhythm at the end.
Builds nicely
The content of the course is well paced so that the final lesson seems straightforward. Also, the main objective of happily playing in Bb is achieved. Hence 5 star rating.
Very fun and Clear!
Great explanations And good pacing.
