Great new insights
This was a wonderful course. The improv foundational material was a totally new leap for me and I am excited to spend time getting comfortable with the framework and the patterns.
Nice
It was good to hear some work in the top range
Vraiment bon
Merci beaucoup!
Excellent course
Beautiful material, amazing explanation. Jonny May, Thank you very much.
In love with the love progression.
Takes time, patience and effort to master the almost semi classical style of the contemporary progressions here, but solid lessons for fundamental piano techniques including finger strength and muscle memory and score reading. The music’s beautiful and relatively easy to improvise over. Recorded 2015 so the quality and presentation a bit different to PWJ these days.
