So awesome!!!!
Such a fun course. Learned so much. I can’t believe that I am actually playing music, and with a band.
Useful to Master even if not considered beginner
Although the key of C is a simple key for beginners I found the instruction about reading the chord lead sheets as well as the inversions was valuable at other levels of skill. I needed the knowledge considering classic piano with traditional notations is not the same as reading from jazz lead sheet stylings. Being able to better understand the chord notations and find inversions as well as know the diatonics for each number of root in the key of C helps get the mindset ready for what is the basis of reading lead sheets. I’m really stoked to progress further!
Fabulous!
I so wish I had been taught this years ago . I have dabbled around with books and on Utube but this is without a doubt the best and most understandable teaching method I have ever found . I actually feel I am going to make significant progress if I practice and practice is definitely easier because there is a great structure and pathway to follow. Thanks so much for this
Great tips for a starter
I like the lessons ideas are laid out
