danthecomposer's Piano Challenge | Onwards & Upwards! |
![]() |
I have created this challenge for many reasons: to bring people together, to encourage, to motivate, to educate, to highlight the importance of certain piano elements and to make You the best player you can be... as well as some others! Do spend a lot of time mastering the major scales, chords and techniques necessary for this challenge, no matter your path. You will benefit.
