Thank you guys so much for your genorousity in spirit in sharing this knowledge with us (peole like me, that love music & have never had a great music teacher). I really feel I'm moving forward & will be able to complete pieces that have been stuck for years (literally 1000s of ideas- it's like Oliver Twist in my Project folder- all the poor wrong uns lacking direction!). I don't have x7 lifetimes to learn music theory, but with these courses I'm starting to believe I can get to where I want to be (completing tracks & not getting gazumped by theory).
