Very good and enjoyable mix of practice and theory - from basics to more advanced with good explanations throughout. I just wish I was a better piano player to be able to take full advantage of it!

Such a great course! Even though I am a bass player this course has made me understand patterns and ways in which the Blues can be taken to. Thank you very much for such an amazing experience.

Very very interesting. I like the it is explained. Great
Week 7 is to difficult for me now. I need to practice to go further with the material
It could have peer review of exercises! it could help us to verify to understand well

This was an eye-opening introduction to blues composition! It explained much in the music I'd heard, but had never really understood. I think I'll be reviewing, practicing, and utilizing this for months, or years, to come!

It's a lot of years since I started playing piano jazz, nevertheless I got different interesting points to reflect into and several exercises to practice, expecially with pentatonics and scalar patterns. Very enjoyable!

Great overall planification and sequence of matters. Some errors in written materials. Some ambiguous questions on quiz. Great music examples played by collaborators. Very poor written transcriptions of spoken text.

The prof explains the concepts very clearly and provides helpful resources
The quiz/assignments could be more challenging to better put into practice the learned material.

Seems comprehensive, with many great techniques for understanding jazz and practicing improvisation. Besides quizzes though, there are no assignments.

Explica de forma clara, desde su forma más simple hasta la más compleja, qué es un Blues y cómo se estructura. Enhorabuena.

Related to jazz, which I enjoy. However, this teaches you to perform the music. Prefer music appreciation classes.

Maybe a little bit complex for people who are not very specialised in music...

It seemed to be more jazz than blues, but it was entertaining and educational.

This training deals with jazz, not with simple blues, which was my first interest. I found it very challenging, starting with flat 7 chords (why not a simple E7 blues progression ?), and introducing from lesson one the II-V progression, which is to me an advanced topic. I gave up after lesson 3 because I am not comfortable listening many chromatic harmonies that I typically associate with the jazz.

Some of the course content came across unsure. This is a good course that needs to be tweaked. There were cases when information was unclear and undecided.

This course is not for me.
Principal concepts seem very difficult from the first lesson.
Professor hesitates, quiz is incomprehensible.
So, Good Bye ! I do like blues and listen it very often, but this doesn't help me.

Mucha Teoria en una semana, poca pratica.
