Lots of fun
Had trouble playing melody line and left hand together with the backing track. Kept at it and finally got. What a feeling. Challenging but a load of fun.
Challenging
It was challenging to learn the chord inversions and break them up.
Very stimulating
Good and encouraging teachers. I learned a lot. Good advices and tips.
Fun and Rewarding Course
This course did a good job introducing the major scale, chords, common progressions, and inversions. The performance piece was challenging for me with the left hand pattern, but really fun and rewarding once I practiced it over a few sessions. I was aware of the 1, 4, 5 progression, but learning about the other possibilities was very helpful. I'm looking forward to learning more in other keys!
A superb course
As a beginner, I have spent many hours practising the material presented in the six lessons of this superb course and every minute was valuable!
