Great beginner class!
Great beginner class. Note names, location on piano, location on sheet music, rhythm timing, basic chord formulas, explains slash chords, and how to use the sustained pedal correctly. All you need to get started with piano.
Great Piano Class
I took music lesson for years and a lot of this I was never taught. This class gave me some great info and learning skill. Didn’t find the pdf music sheets until I was through with the classes at the very end. Maybe it should be put at the beginning of the class. Highly recommend this course whether you are a beginner or not.
