thorough fundament
Fun bluesy tune in the key of D and extensive excersises in (blues) rhytm
Key of D
Another good course. I learned something new--the side step which I plan on using in my piano playing when I can. Thank you.
Fun Blues in D
I love that the scales classes that are offered include a fun song to play. I gives me confidence that I learn to play piano.
Consistent instruction
Love how each key is presented with a repetitive structure: Scale w/proper fingering, chord progressions, application to a tune, inversion explanation/choices.
J adore le travail de technique et l apprentissage du morceau correspondant à la fin
L approche est super intéressante
