Thank you so much for your comments last week. I have incorporated your feedback into this video to make my course even better for you!

Can you make a video on the 5 or so books that influenced your playing?

@@frederikmarohn6358 Hey! I don't think I'll make a full video on that, but I definitely will talk about it for a few minutes at the end of my next video :)

Excellent follow up from last week. Your comments made a lot of sense. No such thing as jazz for beginners. I like how you showed the examples many times. I found myself playing along with you which made me understand what I was doing much better. Keep it up! You're doing a great job! I'm so proud of you!

hi dear teacher, I want to ask how the pedal goes. It sounds like sometimes you press the pedal and sometimes don't

[@alejandrobernard_]

Hello dear student :) I just looked over the sheet music and there isn't anything that truly requires the use of the pedal. I tend to use pedal when I want to connect two notes together smoothly but have "run out of a fingers." I guess I would suggest using it as a hack when you need to connect notes. If the music sounds too washy then you're probably using too much pedal. I hope that this helps you today
