Good course
I learned a lot.
I enjoyed this one
I enjoyed this lesson, as I like this key. It can be jazzy, but it's also melancholy. I had fun improvising on the chord progressions, and even on the Long Ago song. I could play it in the swing style, but I also came up with my own classical music version, in kind of a sad waltz. It was very nice! Had fun. Through this fun I could pick up the chords and progressions, including some new chords, the D and A diminished.
Inspiring
I enjoyed learning how simple concepts can sound really cool. When comparing this course with the first course at Level 1, I recognize the progress made learning to play piano. This course inspires me to continue practicing.
Fun and exciting
Jonny and Yannick you are great instructors
Fun toon to learn
Well done. Both teachers offered a thorough and patient lesson on C minor.
