Keyboard Basics 2 by Shreyash
This advancing keyboard course develops a broader and deeper understanding of keyboard fundamentals for students already familiar with the basics. Across 12 structured weeks, learners will go beyond elementary notation as they study intervals, advanced rhythms, accidentals, major and minor scales, chord types, inversions, arpeggios, progressions, and more.
