Very useful and interesting
Finally and for the first time I got a real advice how to work with leadsheets on piano, very systematic approach, great teacher Jonny, although it´s foundations it ´s encouraging and bringing new skills and already some fun when playing with backing track.
Very fun and informative.
Very foundational and fun.
This course was great for foundational skills. Now all I have to do is master it in all the other keys.... LOL Thank you for being such a great teacher.
Interesting, challenging and fun!
Great material for review of lead sheets, chords, progressions, inversions. Loved it!
Great for the Classically Impaired
I feel I got a great understanding in how improvisers use chords and progressions to play more creatively. I had a pretty good classical piano training 50 years ago. At that time I had no idea how jazz and blues players did their thing. Now my disability is being taken away!
