Essential lessons on Eb major
That's great
Fun tune to learn!
Good and patient presentation and very worthwhile. I really enjoy this blues tune and look forward to learning more
A fun challenge
Never a boring. Each course always has a snappy tune to learn.
Adding more black keys in brain!
It rocks a lot when the song is getting more complete. The last exercise singing the song was so challenging!
Fun and Helpful Course on Eb Major
This course was a good review of the major scale, chords, and common progressions, this time in the key of Eb Major. I enjoyed the fun blues groove that Jonny picked to put the theory into practice. I thought Yannick made a nice application of applying the dominant 7th chord to the blues accompaniment.
Maximal fun
Those courses are very useful!
Catchy !
Catchy little riff that was fun top play. Love the backing track.
Excellent
Continues the approach of the other scale explorations.
good introduction to boogie
good to play an intro to boogie while learning a new key
Excellent!
My progress is tangible… I’m enjoying the journey!
Good rhythm lesson
Getting the rhythm to fall in to place took a while, but suddenly it just blended together and I felt a strong sense of accomplishment. Just always need to persevere and sometimes sleep on it.
great class
I'm skilled enough that I don't have to wait and process all the demos so I get my reps in while he is going through all the introduction material. But invariably, there comes a point where the challenge gets challenging, lesson 6; walking bass with syncopated right hand. tough. I appreciate Yannick's encouragement to solidify the muscle memory. Just get it in your fingers!
Making the fundamentals fun
These fundamentals courses are all worth the time - a chance to live in a certain key for a little while, and each one also increases my piano skills. In this case, my hand independence really improved by playing the boogie-woogie left hand pattern against the right-hand melody.
Something for everyone
A lot of material here in just a few lessons - from the basics of the scale to finishing with singing the melody while playing a bass line and comping pattern. And a nice learning structure where practice time is built into watching the lesson. Worth doing even if you already are familiar some of the material (you can fast forward through what you know or watch at a faster speed)
Fun to work through
Have been playing piano for years so surprised at how much I didn’t know. Going back to the beginning has taught me lot, particularly how to analyze a piece of music in relation to its structure. This has helped immensely with other areas of my practice
Great
Excellent
Great building block
I started in the beginners section although I probably have an intermediate skill set. Glad I did—-always something new to learn.
