Thumbs up
Even though I am not new at the piano, I find it really useful. I have a lot of holes in my basic knowledge, but now there is less of them.
Well thought out
The manner in which everything is progressively organized to bring the student along is amazing. I had to overcome some misconceptions and bad habits and the program was helpful
Excellent instructor
Good basics explained well
Key of C -Major
Very good course that is clearly structured. Each video builds on the previous one, so that you learn a bit more each time, step by step.
Fun course.
Great course. I am going back to the basics. I need to fill in a lot of holes in my playing. This is helping me improve. Thank you.
