Varied & Interesting
I liked the balance between this minor course which had a lot on accompaniment and the relative major course which had more on hand independence.
Loved it!
I love the modern sound...working lh and rh together. Learning about 5ths on the LH accompanied by inverted chords on the RH.
Challenge
Still work to do
Nice pace
The music choice to learn the Em is great
Fun really getting to know and get to grips with the E minor scale
Learning what seems to be basic stuff but really unlocks a whole lot of pro level playing skills.
