Course Summary
Reviews
Read and write music
Fabulous course
Very Thorough
I really enjoyed this course. Each video was short and to the point, with lots of great information. I definitely know how to read music a lot better now. I just knew the basics about reading the grand staff, but chords were my weakness. The formulas for major, minor, augmented, diminished chords, and much much more were very helpful and easy to understand. I also learned how to write music better as well. Also reading the page is easier now too.
Good job!
Very good and quality teaching! Congratulations!
