STUDENTS SPEAK:
Thank you so much for the class on Monday! I both needed it and enjoyed it, which is a nice combination.
I've toyed a bit with iReal Pro but it has so many options that I found it overwhelming. I never felt that I had enough time to do all the tutorials and practice on the program. But your class was perfectly matched to what I needed. I needed someone to gently nudge me into familiarity with the basic procedures and you did it beautifully.
I also appreciated the guidance with the tablet form of iReal Pro. Just seeing how the two types compared was extremely helpful.
Thank you very much again! -- Elisabeth Goebel

Joining us are amazing musicians: Brandon Nelson on piano, Perry Thoorsell on bass.
Bring your sheet music in your key, or send me a note with your songs and I'll locate a chart for you.
And...YES....Sirens can be male. ;-)
