Re: Learning by reading notes not numbers

I am curious as to other people's experience weaning themselves off of the finger numbers and note letters when reading the music.

chord reference

Hi, I think it would be useful to have some chord notations in the sheet music to signal the switch in hand position. when learning a new piece of music (without video instruction) it is time consuming to have to figure out when is the most efficient time to switch. Chord notation would make that a ...

There is a Rookie bootcamp lesson for Offenbach's Can-Can but it is not in the available songs. Any plans?

Accompanyment vs. melody

Hello, I'm a beginner and I am really enjoying the program thus far. I've completed the rookie boot camp and a few of the rookie songs. I will stick with the system but I don't necessarily want to play melody for every song. I really want to learn to accompany my own voice or my friends by playing t...
