You could return to it later when you have a little more technical understanding. But if you are a beginner and you choose to ignore the more technical aspects and just embrace learning the different "timbres", you should find it enlightening, and worth your time as it should enrich your appreciation of modes and scales. That is, if you want to get the most out of it. There is a clear indication of this in the "technical" language Gregg uses, that also expresses an expectation that you will have some comprehesion of the tempered keyboard, and of degrees and intervals of the chromatic and popular diatonic scales, and in some sections, the construction of triads and 7th chords. The exercises are invaluable and worthy of returning to repeatedly as months and years pass.īut it may not be a course for all beginners. It's also exceptional value if bought at the library members discount, which I intend to do. When I think of the wide range of possible "students", it has to be recognised that Gregg Fine has done an excellent job. Let me say at the outset that this is an excellent course.
