7. FINAL LESSON AND ADVICE
Hands on the harmonium are filmed in close-up when Kenny shows how to play certain exercises. After each topic you have the possibility to take an evaluation to check for yourself whether or not you understand the new material.
When you take the Lifetime Access membership you have the ability to join the weekly Q&A calls. This is a very important addition to the course, as it helps you to stay motivated and to interact with the teachers. In the Q&A calls you can ask all your questions and go deeper regarding techniques, knowledge and songs.
We suggest that you practice 5 days a week around 15 minutes daily, but of course you are free to choose whatever routine works best for you.
Apart from the course we also recommend using your harmonium regularly: for example by joining a band or by accompanying yourself or someone else while singing. Combining this with the course is the fastest way of learning the instrument, even if you only find little time to do this. And it will provide you with maximum motivation and joy!
The course is brand new! Kenny has been creating it since end 2019 and has been working on it throughout 2020. Due to Covid regulations Kenny was no longer able to teach in private lessons, that’s why he combined all his knowledge and experience in this detailed online course.

“…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!”
