TOP REVIEWS FROM MUSICIANSHIP: CHORD CHARTS, DIATONIC CHORDS, AND MINOR KEYS
This is a helpful, top class programme. Do it at a flexible pace. The instructor is excellent and the assignments make sense. I learn about chord progressions, chord charts, and F and G major scales.
George is the best. Keeps the course interesting, relevant and fun. His mandatory fun rule is easy to achieve with George
Instructor is charming, didactic, and very fun to listen. Concepts are explained gradually and clearly. You definitely need some prior knowledge, so don't take this as your first music course.
Seeing the professor apply the theory he was explaining was actually very empowering and helpful in my own approach to application.
