I’ve wanted to do more with my music for such a long time, but life got in the way or I wasn’t able to find an instructor that would focus on my needs. Since subscribing with you, my confidence and skills have vastly improved!
Let me first tell you how much I’m enjoying Well of Music! Your teaching style is top notch.
First of all, my performance anxiety has diminished so much! Yay!! Also, I’m now participating on the praise team at church, helping with vocals & ear training.
I continue listening and practicing the keyboards, especially identifying chord quality, progressions, inversions, left hand grooves, timing, theory, fingering and sight reading. Hmm, so I guess, I’m working on everything !
I was quite frustrated because I couldn’t figure out how to play my song. That was until I watched the Neo-Soul lesson! The theory you provide has me transposing, trying new things, and is just what I needed. Our musician loved my song so much, he got off the Hammond to check out my chord progressions. He took the theme song (based on your sweet neo-soul riff & WOW!
There are a number of great benefits to your online lessons:
1. The way you demonstrate different voicing, optional right hand movements, etc really works well for me.
2. Calling out the chord name, number & progression type is so helpful & has me trying to do it too. It’s now easier to transpose to other keys. Oh, also breaking down the slash chords by showing they’re actually two chords, drop 2, rootless, etc. I can see it lol!
3. Breaking up the songs in bite-sized pieces & mimicking your fingerings to practice my movements until I feel confident.
4. A few times I had your videos playing in the background while I was doing something around the house. I was able to visualize the chords & hearing you describe the music theory behind it makes it a little bit less scary.
THANK YOU!!
