So much fun
You really have such a nice way to explain that stuff :)))
Definitely fun and challenging
This is back to basics but, being average self taught, it’s quite hard work but essential and rewarding
Lots of pleasure!
The link Jonny does between theory and practice is one of the most valuable things. Let’s move on!
Fun and important info
Fun and important info Along with good tune
Excellent Course
Excellent course.
Great fundamental training!
Perfect lesson on how to familiarize yourself with a new key signature, learn the diatonic chords, and learn a new song. Recommended!
Great exercise for the brain.
I enjoyed being challenged so early in the learning process. I am trying to learn and repeat by ear which is working my brain so much. I need to do this because I can sight read so easily, but have always been too lazy (or impatient) to play from memory.
Perfect
Exactly the course I was looking for. I learnt Piano a few years ago and was ready to start again with boring scales and so on.....Not at all. This is fun and entertaining. THANK YOU
Great Course for everyone!
Good teacher with a good method!
I am in awe...
....of how much teaching PWJ managed to get out of just 8 measures!
Excellent!
Clear & systematic teaching. Comfortable pace. I like the arrangement of playing together then playing on our own along with the groove. I've got sufficient practice along with the lessons.
Great fun
I learned a lot
Excellent
Enjoyed the simple way of using inversions and making melody sound richer.
Definitely great to review
Even though I have been learning for 2+ years it has been a wake up call to go through this course. So many different ways to play a great melody al in one place. Would recommend everyone to try this to actually gauge your ability. Excellent!
Inspiring course
I learned so much
beautiful and fun to play
This is a very beautiful melody that I enjoyed learning and playing.
Canon in C
So fun!
Fun and very useful
Nice to have so many useful elements implemented in a single lesson and still advance without being overwhelmed. Well done guys :)
easy but challenging
I learned hand independence and timing.
A nice refresher
I've been playing very basic keyboard/synth on and off for years but this was a nice refresher into proper fingering technique and starting to play with two hands properly
Great teachers! Fun and to the point.
Excellent classes!
Easy to follow
The instructions were easy to follow and the results were encouraging. I easily felt that I had made some progress in my goal.
