Great Rhythms
Once you get the hands coordinated, these are a lot of fun to play. Nice inspiring melody. Love the syncopation.
Grooving!
Pulse feels like your heart beat! Feel the rhythm. Tap it, Say it, Clap it, and Count Loved all of the rhythms for both left hand and right hand! As a teacher, this is a great lesson for beginning students to learn different rhythms. This is bound to give students more confidence.
A jewel inside the beginner foundational courses!
Although in a few aspects I consider myself an intermediate player, I decided to go back to the beginner Foundation Courses. This course on two-hand coordination was particularly rewarding and fun. Not only did it allow me to create more solid independence between the two hands, but the universal chord progressions used are sprinkled with powerful dissonances that make them really interesting to play. My harmonic vocabulary (along with hand coordination and interaction) is better for having made the decision to build a more solid foundation.
Loved loved loved it
This helped me so much with learning some great grooves and recognizing popular songs with this chord progression. For the first time I felt like there was hope for me to sit down at the piano with no music and do something that sounded good!
Inspiring and fun
Great tools to learn. Will definitely keep practicing this course then try int/adv
