There are a lot of Play Along in this course! 
 
My students have difficulty coordinating both hands together at times, so in this course I have done many play along for: 
 
1. Left Hand only for each line for each song & then play through the complete song. 

2. Both Hands in Slow Motion for each line for each song & then play through the complete song. 

3. Both Hands in Normal Tempo for each line for each song & then play through the complete song. 
 
The design is in such a way that students can slowly gain confidence by working on the Left Hand first, and then play through each line in slow motion, and finally play through each line in normal tempo. 
 
The whole program is designed in such a way that students have a method to practice the techniques & to move them to play by ear. 
 
1. Each line  is played with Music Score in front of them. 

2. Each line  is played with Chords + counting  

3. Each line is played with chords only so that by the time students get to this level, they can play by EAR. 
 
 
Enjoy your journey,
