Numbers instead of notes
Great course. I struggle with a fixed do system and perfect pitch, so its hard for me to let go of that and listen to the melody in terms of numbers and functionality.
Diatonic Transposition Made EZ!
This course is a gem for understanding and assimilating the functional theory of transposition. What that mouthful means, for beginners, is you will know how to play hundreds of songs written in any of the 12 major keys, and how to play each one in any other major key by thinking in numbers (1-7) instead of note spellings. Don't wait! Don't miss it!
