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.
D Minor
So many options for using this for future improv and accompaniment
Good stuff
I’m so happy by hand independence is improving!
