good baseline
the lessons here gave me a good start to learning inversions and chords, there isn't much on songwriting, I assume it'll come later but this is challenging enough for someone that started new to piano in summer 2024
Good stuff
Nice lesson - Canon is a piano standard and this is a nice intro.
Really nice pacing for beginners and intermediate.
Love the approach of applying the lesson to a piece of music and changing the application one step at a time.
Starting to get challenging
The hand coordination with 'Jonnys cannon' was a great exercise (and still ongoing, as it's currently on slow motion mode)
So simple and so funny. And very educational.
Avant de prendre ma retraite, j'étais enseignant. Cette approche est vraiment bien structurée. Vous avez toute mon admiration. Formidable. J'ai beaucoup de plaisir.
