Well paced
As I go through the beginner courses all the theory I learnt in previous courses makes sense. I love the way each explanation builds up. Very clear explanations on scales, how they are used to build chords, tips on grooves. As you do each class the sense of achievement builds up and makes learning piano a lot more meaningful than in other courses. I am so glad to have found you!
enjoyable
I enjoy going through the lessons. Learning about scales and chords, and playing the songs.
Very exciting lessons
Great team PWJ
Scale of D minor
So nice to have all the scale lessons in a similar style. Makes it easier to learn that way!
Fun with Dm
Enjoyed the lesson and learned a lot especially playing in syncopation with melody and chords. Lots of room here to practice different grooves.
