I'm a graduated composer, but my lectures on university weren't systematical enough, and they we're all over the place. So I needed this course to remind myself why I love composing, and to give myself courage and new practical system to collect my 'all over the place' knowledge into one connected view to be motivated to create aagain! So far so great! Thank you so much for this practical lecture and knowledge!
