Great song and variations
I really felt that I was playing music with Jonny’s Canon.
2 handed
Split brain split rhythms ahhhhh
Good foundation
Yannick is patient and encouraging
I like Canon in D variation
I liked learning the progressively more right hand techniques (chords, arpeggios, inversion chords, inversion arpeggios)
Brain training!
I love how much I learned from just variations of a simple melody. It feels like I am doing brain exercises every time a new skill is introduced, trying to coordinate my fingers with the new arrangements.
