7. FINAL LESSON AND ADVICE
“…When I saw the course content I realized how beautifuly that did match what I was trying to achieve. I’m about 4 weeks into the course and I can work out any chord on the harmonium with a very simple
system that Kenny teaches.
I kind of thought I would never get to this stage.
I was trying to piece together lots of different parts and readings and trying to learn myself. It just wasn’t jelling together.
This is a fully comprehensive course, very simple.
The videos are in very short chunks.
As long as you practice and follow what Kenny says you will get there in no time.”

“…The course is incredibly well thought out.
With an amazing structure, where you start at the roots so that you really understand the basics of the instrument and the basics of music along.
And then really grow out from there, chords, melodies and in the end you can combine all of that to produce beautiful music.
I am really thankful for Kenny Clarys that he gave me this opportunity to finally learn this instrument!”
