Great class! Luba is an excellent instructor for what basically ended up being a private lesson. I gained many insights on playing a slightly more difficult arrangement with rhythm and timing changes. This is the kind of class that we need to see more of on Piano Pass.
Luba tailors her approach and literature to the individual students' interests and abilities. She teaches the student to recognize chords and understand theory in an accessible organic way.
