I love the exercises that incorporate learning the scales as that has always been a real challenge for me. I have felt stuck in my playing for a while now but after completing your course I am more confident, and more flexible! the style of teaching is very simple yet extremely effective way of teaching, and I'm enjoying all the extras I received.
