Rainy Days & Lazy Nighst (Key of Db)
Outstanding course. I learned to be comfortable playing in a Key that I knew existed, but have never had experience playing. Thorough exploration of the Scale, Diatonic Chords, Chord Inversions and a smoky, cocktail lounge jazz ballad that is so much fun to play. Daine is a solid instructor, going above and beyond in his instruction of all things Db Major. A great course for mastering this Key with challenges from Daine to take mastery of the Key to an even higher level than there is time to explore in a Foundational Piano Course. I would like to add that as I accept and take the time to dig into the challenges that Daine offers, such as working through inversions of all the diatonic chords in the Key of Db, are well worth the time and effort. Time well spent and certainly improving my technique as well as extending my toolbox of musical structures and ideas for improvising and hopefully for composing my own tunes in the future. Thanks again, Daine and PWJ!
Fun
This course was more fun to learn. The song with this scale was mellow and smooth.
Fantastic course.
I enjoyed the course very much. Very good class. Beautiful melody, beautiful rhythm. The accompaniment ideas are well chosen.
Key of D flat-not so scary after all
I appreciate Daine taking time to count this out in its entirety. I have always had trouble with counting. As a kid I never had it explained correctly. When it got confusing, I would just wing the sound. But now, I really appreciate someone going through the count measure by measure. Thank you! Love these lessons.

Light up the whole keyboard with the radiant, joyful key of D major. You'll learn to play its scale from one end of the piano to the other and finish with a toe-tapping blues shuffle.
Turn up the fun with the sunny, upbeat key of A major. You'll learn the scale and chords in this key with the right fingering, then play Doing the PWJ Rock, an original rock and roll tune.
Step into the smooth, jazzy key of Bb major, a favorite of jazz musicians and horn players. You'll learn fun ways to jam on its chords and finish with PWJ Avenue, an original tune.
