A nice inspiration for the real thing
We start to notice that you are adding a bit more to this basic courses, which is great!
Playful and fun
Jonnys Moonflight is a really nice melody, playing with different left hand options is fun! I love the way You teach, thank You so much!
Fun course
I appreciate all the variations of rhythm and styles that I learned to apply to this one song, Jonny’s Moonflight, fun course.
Well, It's a Marvelous Night for a MoonFlight!
I had a good time working my wary through this course. I like the Jazz Standards, so Jonny's take on the Jazz Standard "Fly Me To The Moon" was a fun and a great way to learn and get familiar with the essential scales and chords in the Key of D Minor. Best of all, I completed the Early Beginner Foundations Track and I am walking a little taller knowing that I am working my way toward being a complete musician. Thank you for the great, measured approach to playing piano that I have found at PWJ!!
Great melody and accompaniment
This was fun. I feel like I’m playing a real song.
