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.
Great to be playing beautiful music so early
Fun and challenging for sure, but a great feeling of accomplishment the end. I really like how you mixed in different elements like the accompaniment too.
Excellent and comprehensive
What I loved about the course is that it provides you with the theory and at the very beginning it already prepares you with inversions while keeping you on the beat with the accompaniment. I loved how subtle that is, while other methods insist with the metronome I find this far more engaging and motivating. Introducing inversions early on is a game changer. Well done!
