At 66 years old I'm grasping the concept but slow on learning timing. I need to spend more time on each module. Sometimes repeating modules to really let it sink in. I may be somewhat slower at picking up the information than someone half my age. I'm committed. :)

By Lisa Taylor on 1/28/2020

I have already learned about reading music, but I'm not good at it. I'm hoping that this course will help me to improve.

By Nicole Clyburn on 11/3/2018

Perfect for me in every way. Thank you for starting at the very basic level and continuing through to the applied usage with examples and thorough explanations. I tend to get stuck in limbo...'ok, I got basic counting but what does this do for me?' Then, I tried to practice and I'm done...no idea how to go from 1 and 2 and, to 1uun and uh - counts. It could be all the same notes and I didn't have a clue how to count! Level easy straight to symphony wasn't helping...now that I found your training - I'm eager to keep practicing.

By Sherry Wyskida on 9/6/2018

It went too fast. In lecture 4 I can’t figure out what the notes were. They looked totally different from in lesson 3. I didn’t know any of them

By Sukirti Uikey on 7/9/2018

This course is really amazing! It has undoubtedly helped me understand reading music and I have gotten better with practice. Thank you so much Matt Carano and Joe Parys :)

By Marion Fairley on 6/14/2018

This explains very clearly for a beginner - that's what I need - precise clear instructions so I can take it in. It moves at a good pace too.

By Dina Elzoka on 5/11/2017

it's amazing course, the instructor's way is so simple and easy to be understood. i am so happy for enrolling in this course, thank you :)

By Thomas Zerck on 3/11/2017

I liked the course and learned a lot. But the Quizes need to be fixed, sometimes you have to give the wrong answer in order to proceed. But still great course.

By Alexander Anane Tabiri on 12/25/2016

the course was very helpful; especially the dotted notation. it gave me a better understanding of it.

By James Linder on 12/5/2016

I am impressed with the quality of this course. Not only is the content delivered in a methodical, efficient manner, but how it is put together is better than the vast majority of courses I've used. Most courses are lecture style, with lots of pauses, and wasted time. This is not. It's as professional as I've seen. Highly recommend.
