About where I'm at
Having completed Key of C Major, I realise this is where I am currently comfortable. Lots to practice in this course, but enjoyed all the theory and technique and will spend a day or so polishing the pieces, chords and inversion and alternative patterns from lessons 6.
Continue to build on what you know
I enjoy taking what we learned in the previous lesson and building upon it. Playing with accompaniment feels good
A good start. It is very motivating.
I followed the lesson one by one. It is very well explained. Some lessons were challenging , but I kept with it. It's great.
good start
good course mix of note playing and groove
Something to work towards
Very well designed. Its starts out and you think this is hard to keep up with, then it starts to feel easier. So you move to the next part/step in the progress and you think "This is hard " and with practice.... I will keep coming back to this piece as a warm up and its great at helping you understand inversions.
