well worth the effort
Really enjoyed the course! Getting both hands to do different things was and still is a challenge.
Fun
Nice verse of Pachelbel's cannon.
Love the lessons, but find it challenging. I'm slowly improving. I have trouble tracking.
I find reading 2 lines of music challenging, like reading 2 sentences together, like one above the other, or patting the top of your head with one hand and drawing circles on your belly with the other. I see the importance of learning each line of music separately before playing them together. Its a slow process for me but I'm making progress. I look forward to my mostly daily practices of an 1 - 2 hrs. I found a softer chair now. I think you are excellent teachers and I feel supported by your words of encouragement.
Great course. Even for intermediate students.
I’m pretty good with Piano. New to this platform. More of an intermediate player. But the accompaniment I have no experience with. Nor using a metronome. I think this basic review of the C major scale and cord progressions was time well spent.
I learned a lot and had fun
