Students are saying...

“This content is really quite amazing. You guys are so far beyond what anybody else is offering. The harmony studies feature only artists that I actually care about. I’ve been waiting for a course like this forever, and never thought anyone would make one this relevant. It’s also given me the idea to try Dorian and see if any of my crap chord progressions might end up sounding decent. Yannek Maunz is a great teacher too. Keep up the great work! Kiyan Aza. (Student)”
