Thanks, Sal, Roland and Sherlock.

Really, we could record at least 365 lessons easily, right? It’s just a matter of how much time do we get with this talented teacher…

One thing about the music is – ultimately you don’t play from it of course – but there are several stages of learning. The sheet music is for the stage between learning the “bare tune” notes and the polished/totally memorized stage of the advanced tune.

As a learning tool, the memory reminder for the advanced version is a great time saver. We…[Read more]
