"Dude your text lessons are really brilliant and solve a particular problem elegantly. It’s the best music education value I’ve ever seen. How do you get real, substantive interaction, coaching and support from an amazing player at a price that makes it possible for anybody, without enrolling at North Texas or someplace like that? I really love this model. You’ve put together something so innovative here."
Everett Young, Pianist/Studio Member
"The text lesson studio has been an amazing resource for guiding my jazz technique and musicianship in general. I want to make a specific encouragement here for brass players who might feel skeptical of receiving lessons from a saxophonist: the exercises improved my lip flexibility, dexterity, range, endurance, and ear in ways that my trumpet-focused studies alone did not."
Sam Carlos, Trumpet/Studio Member
"Dude! I'm having a GREAT time with all the assignments you sent. I've never sounded this good!"
Jonathan Swann, Saxophonist/Studio Member
"You’ve been an outstanding mentor for me. I haven’t had any guidance in my jazz studies until I signed up for the text lessons and it has changed my playing!! Thank you!!!"
Andrew Guffey, Guitarist/Studio Member
“This program has given me a new approach to practicing that I wouldn’t normally come up with on my own. I’m already seeing immediate results!”
Mikey Vitale, Saxophonist/Studio Member
"I usually know how to go about studying but it’s so awesome that at my finger tips I can ask a question regarding a concern. I honestly love this method."
Gabriel Perez, Guitarist/Studio Member
