Making it Real
Jonny’s Canon in C is totally achievable in a couple of weeks for a beginner. Although I could play a C scale coming into the course, the Canon in C tune took a while to master. The progression from root position chords to using inversions was understandable and achievable. As someone who has more of an ambition to accompany a vocalist, the final lesson on accompaniment was an excellent addition. I got a lot out of this.
Key of C Major
A little challenging, but it flowed especially as I warmed up using the earlier lessons and finger exercises.
Fun and challenging!
Super fun to go through all this material
So happy to learn something so pretty so soon!
Very enjoyable lesson
Challenging
Being a beginner and just finishing the Intro to the keyboard course, the Canon took me over 15hrs of practice to get down in its simplest form. I can play the inverted chords but struggling with playing each seperate key of the chord in the left like a metronome. I tried for days and am going to move on and come back to it later.
