Lost in a Lullaby
I can't say enough about PWJ Foundational Courses! Key of G Major was just more of the same! I am really enjoying the teaching approach used at PWJ - learning scales and the related diatonic chords and their inversions all done in the context of learning simple, accessible, but not silly, songs. In addition to learning the theory of each new Key, exercises are carefully crafted to develop two-hand coordination. Finally, rhythm, which is often overlooked in some learning approaches, is always being addressed as well. I love these courses! Best investment I have ever made in my musical journey! Thanks guys!!
Middle is the hardest
Love the accompanying patterns. I find the third lesson the hardest.
Excellent!
Follows the same pattern as other scale courses. Loved the score!. Very satisfying to play
Great little ditty
Really liked the chord progression!
Carousel to Music Box
This course surprised me with how different the first version of the song sounded compared to the final accompaniment. When I started learning, I thought it sounded more like a carousel than a lullaby, but after learning the accompaniment version of the song, I look forward to practicing this tune in all its variations.
