Cracked Canon at last
I have tried many versions of ‘Canon’, and this is the first time I have even got close to being able to play, without sheet music, a twist on my favourite song. For the first time I am ‘feeling’ the left hand rather than trying to read each note as I go along. Brilliant course, thanks!
Challenging enough to learn, pleasure to play, gorgeous to hear
Another piece of music i'm so happy i learnt to play, thanks PWJ !
Fun and challenging
I love the way the exercises are then incorporated into the song.
Crash course
Wow, this was great to just stay in C major, practice on connecting those chords, practicing technique with crossing over and under...I got SO much out of this course, especially after the foundation.
Great
Finally learned the importance of knowing chords in both hands that was a piece of information. I had not understood from previous training. I love the Canon that Johnny has written and I want to use that in in my work.
