Re: Learning the theory behind finding an optimal fingering?

Thank you! I was anticipating something similar to your answer. I definitely have a ways to go before I start figuring out my own fingering patterns...and lots and lots of practicing to do as well.

Re: When working through the Rookie Bootcamp, when are the courses supposed to unlock?

I think I've got a working routine for myself now....without needing to know when the course would have unlocked naturally. From looking through/previewing the course materials, here's what seems to make sense to me: 1. Reading Music - Staff Notation (Rookie). This content seems to follow roughly th...

Learning the theory behind finding an optimal fingering?

I'm currently working through Lesson 38 in the rookie bootcamp and I've been trying to follow through with being able to play a lesson with to 100% first with the fingering numbers turned on, then with the note names turned on, then both turned off.

Re: When working through the Rookie Bootcamp, when are the courses supposed to unlock?

:) Yes, I did assume they would unlock either when I reached a specific lesson or spent enough time in the app. But because I had skipped from Lesson 16 to Lesson 89 because I was curious about a video tutorial on that lesson at the end of the rookie bootcamp, I believe they were unlocked prematurel...

When working through the Rookie Bootcamp, when are the courses supposed to unlock?

When working through the Rookie Bootcamp, when are the courses supposed to unlock? When I was at around lesson 16, I got curious and skipped forward to watched the Orienting Your Ear and Scales to Play by Ear videos. Well, I then got an email that the bonus courses were unlocked. I'm afraid they wer...

At what point should I get my first song?

I'm working my way through the rookie bootcamp. I'm extremely familiar with the treble clef....not so much with base clef or playing 2 hands, but can play a simple melody with my right hand even before starting playground sessions.

Re: Time Signature question

I just started playground sessions this week and the 4/2 time signature is really throwing me for a loop. I had played flute from grade school through my senior year of high school. And after more than 25 years of not playing my brain still can't get over a whole note only being counted for 2 beats ...
