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
Challenging but worth it
It took me a while to complete this but l loved learning the alternatives to regular chord progressions of the left hand. My fingers are clumsy but getting better.
Fun and a bit challenging
The first time I tried playing Sunrise Blues, I had a very hard time, but with some practice it got a bit easier. I also enjoyed the accompaniment part at the end. It was my first time playing a shuffle groove. That was fun.
