Very helpful and inspiring
The clear structure and Jonny‘s great skills as a teacher and as a piano player make it a great pleasure to follow each chapter and to practice the exercises. I, personally appreciate the referrals to other closely related courses and in particular the redundancy of consistently focusing on the most important interdependences and practical recommendations. Thanks, Jonny, for your great Job!
Finally start to get it
I needed to repeat several lessons and then go back and practice but now starting to see the extensions in other keys than just C. Very helpful! But it was a bit slow and not easy for me.
Great overview.
Thank you for the great tips and guidance on assembling and deconstructing these cords. I look forward to applying them, they are less intimidating now.
Knowledge extended
