|| NOTABLE REVIEWS ||
I have found this course to be clear, executed at a good pace, and very well explained. The content is systematic and logical. The music professor guy (Ben?) is great. I am registered to do the follow-on course. Other than small technical hitch, which was sorted quickly, the technology, presentation and user interface have also been a pleasure to use.
-Peter Smith
Excellent for those beginning the horn. Everything is broken down, the instruction is logical and complete. Very solid educationally.
-Gwen Clark
Ben makes the exercises fun while learning to play your trombone. He is easy to understand and explains things so the student will learn to play properly.

Alm disso, essa parte bsica muito importante. Tinha necessidade de aprender a ser uma espcie de atleta do trombone com uma rotina de estudo bem definida que no machucasse minha boca e esse curso est conseguindo me proporcionar isso. Obrigado a todos e ao professor Ben!
It is exactly what I expected. Something simple, direct, with immediate feedback (I can hear and see the teacher and check if I'm doing well). Besides, this basic part is very important. I needed to learn to be a kind of trombone athlete with a well defined study routine that it didnt hurt my mouth, and this course is managing to provide me with that. Thanks to everyone and Professor Ben!
