Just wanted to give some feedback. When playing through When the Saints Go Marching In, the very last lesson, #5, the introduction of the off-beat start to the melody with the on-beat playing of the bass notes its something that I feel should come far sooner in the lessons.
As they say, "practice makes permanent", so it's better to teach the offset notes earlier rather than waiting until my hands have learned the on-beat through repetition and then have to learn syncopated notes on the very final lesson while also adding further melody complexity.
I found this incredibly challenging to master with the full complexity of the song and both hands at the same time. I feel they should add at least one more lesson to this song to introduce that timing change sooner with less complexity.
Oh when the saints!
