Learning the Minors
What I enjoyed about this course was the explanation of the minor chord fingerings and all three minor scales. The theory and practice made a big difference in playing the chords. The chords were easier to play once I had the understanding of the scales. The inversions are always a hit! I applauded when it was time to practice the inversions and the accompaniment portion. Overall, I am having a good time re-learning the minor scale and its usage. Good course.

The song PWJ-ACTIVE was great to learn . I felt this course built upon the previous, and helped me learn faster and keep interest in playing piano

Three Type of Minors and the Ten Most Useful Minor Chords!
Thanks to this course, I now understand the differences between the three types of minor keys. Both instructors offer so much useful "incidental" information! They really help to fill in the gaps in my learning! Playing along to a backing track is also fun to do!
