Dieser Kurs war sehr gut für mich geeignet als Wiedereinsteiger. Die Lektionen sind logisch aufgebaut, die Inhalte sind gut erklärt und die Griffe werden gezeigt und erläutert (wenn auch nur im Böhm-System). Ich konnte lernen, ohne überfordert zu sein, und habe mich immer auf die nächste Lektion gefreut. Ich werde mit dem 2. Level bei MusicProfessor weitermachen. Danke für den Gutschein-Code.

Enjoyed the course a lot. Student needs to know to supplement this with a textbook of some kind that will give them plenty of practice playing and reading on their own.
