So good I did it twice!
I enjoyed doing this in 2024 probably and once more in 2026
Inspiring course for simple accompaniments
Really enjoyed this course. I think it tackled some of my blind spots in hand coordination. I found parts of it more challenging than I expected.
Challenging
I wish I had done this sooner. Great for coordination and counting
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.
