Easy and Difficult but will be great as daily exercises
This was a great course! It really shows you how to put two hands together as a beginner plus some awesome rhythms. A few of the rhythms were more difficult then the others especially when playing them with 1/8 notes. I will be revisiting this course to better play some of the more difficult ones.
Extremely Helpful With Separate Rhythm between Hands
This was extremely challenging, but I managed to figure out counting for the different hands. If I got stuck, I reviewed the video over and over. I managed everything except triplets over quarter notes. That part still is confounding me. Overall, this has been useful in getting hands to work together with different rhythms on each hand.
How a great way on rhythms
Jonny this is so amazing I enjoyed the lessons
A must do set of exercises to build finger coordination.
This set of exercises for me was essential and frustrating at the same time. It took me a "long" time to complete them but but I think that has helped me more. Perseverance and the will to finish means I can play them at a glance now from the sheet. Memory is a different matter!
challenging but essential
I was surprised how much clapping I had to work at to get the rhythms correct. Great course.
