Excellent!
I've played the piano for decades, so I'm not a beginner. I am mostly self-taught with a classical background. Stuff is finally starting to click with this course! I've learned these chord progressions as exercises, but never knew what to do with them. At the end of the course, I started experimenting with playing the Canon in C in other keys with the chords I've learned. (Canon in F? How about D? There's a novel thought!😂) Low and behold, it works! I've never been able to transpose before, so this is super fun! I also, for the first time ever, feel the freedom to actually improvise on my own. I'm so thankful for this course and all that I'm learning! Even though it feels very basic, it's so good to fill in the gaps of my piano knowledge with this foundation.
This has been very helpful to me playing chords and inversion in C Major.
This course is awesome for beginners.
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.
