PWJ-Active! I've never felt so bonded with the key of E minor!
It was great to get the basics, but then have so many avenues for my own arranging! Thanks, Yannick, for the suggestions for making a "bigger, more dramatic" sound, e.g., chords in RH and using octaves in LH.
Inspiring and great for heaving fun
I love the sound of e minor, it sounds great! I certainly will come back in a year - when I do the second round on scales, I am beginnen. There is so much to learn, to play with! So much inspiration! You're doing great teaching! Thank You so much!
"Active"-ly Pursuing Excellence!
I really enjoyed learning the Key of E Minor. With each new key learned, I feel a real sense of accomplishment as my musical knowledge and piano skill set broadens! The simple melody and arrangement of PWJ-Active allowed me to really focus on basic left & right hand development without having to simultaneously try to manage a complex melody. Excellent instruction from both Jonny & Yannick! I can feel my confidence at the piano "Active"-ly growing!!
Fun song
I love how y’all take 8 lines and then make it into a full course.
Another fun course
Interesting and timely melody. I liked the new chords too.
