NOTABLE REVIEWS

“Great course. I have gone from a complete beginner (adult learner) to playing pretty well. Update: I just completed the course, and feel like I learned a tremendous amount! I can't wait to begin the intermediate course!”

-James Kiker

“So far this teacher is really great. He's humorous and just by the sound in the mouthpiece you can tell he is very skilled. I wish I would have had a teacher like this in school. He is very comfortable with the camera and with teaching. I really look forward to more…"

-Steve Engelhorn

“Starts by showing that it is easy to play, and that sometimes we overthink and tense up. Never played before, this is really easy to follow, apply and practice.”

-Darrel Lancaster
