Fun and developed confidence in hand coordination
I really like this course. It set very realistic goals for me and I felt I really accomplished skills in my rhythm and hand coordination. It was fun because I could with practice do the exercises. Also the rhythms were fun to learn and play.
Tough but really really worth it in the end
Not gonna lie: some of that was tough. It took me a few days, possibly about 5 hours total to get through that course. I printed off the music and watched the video on my tablet while at the piano. When Jonny would play something I'd pause it and spend as much time as I needed to "master" the part of the lesson and I just repeated that for every part of the lesson.
Great course teaching the fundamentals of hand coordination
All lessons were good but I particularly enjoyed the cross rhythm sections at the later stages of them lesson (eg. Rhythm 4,5 and 6 of lesson 5).
Exciting !
Really fun to do, though, the last lesson was very hard.
Well explained
It's very nice to learn the different type and combination of the pop rythmn
