The course was very well planned...
The course was very well planned, very well instructed, and very well thought of. This is all the things that a new person tackling sheet music will ever need. And Jacob’s explanation are so intriguing making you want more. The use of automated sheet music, makes this course so much better, since it give the user an approach from many different angles. Overall, words can’t describe the beauty of music theory, and how this course comes close to that beauty!
