Fun, very important and essential for hands adaptation!
Great step by step for Lh and Rh!
Really important
One of the most difficult things for beginners is to get independence between the two hands. That is why contrary motion in scales and other exercises is easier than parallel motion. This canon and all the exercises are really good to help with independence of the hands.
very well structered
It could be nice to introduce how to get the chords from solo music
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
