I like the way PWJ gets right to making music! "Cannon in C" is fun to play and provides plenty of opportunity to experiment with inversions and melodic variations.
Great 1st foundation
Great time re-learning the key of CMajor.
Great Introduction to Inversions!
Especially appreciated lesson on inversions. Concept of keeping common tones between chords made a lot of sense!
Educational
Even though starting at the beginning, I know a lot of chords but didn’t understand inversions. I used them, just didn’t know it. Good to have a clear explanation.
Great course!
