Glad I am learning
Feels like I am on the right track
Short and sweet
Easier as we progress
Lots of fun
Enjoyable songs with bits of theory thrown in. Challenging but not overwhelming.
Interesting course
I like how the piece becoming more complex, with adding RH harmony and blue scales solo
Fun Overview of the E Minor Key
Being able to play fluently in all of the keys is an important skill for the piano or when playing as part of a band. After doing this in a few other courses, I feel confident that applying the same underlying concepts of scales, chord progressions, and inversions to a fun song is making a difference in my playing. I also enjoyed the part when Yannick showed a sample improvisation using the blues scale.
