"Just amazing, Can't ask for more simple and easy step by step learning. The good thing is I´m learning and instructor is proving to be best. Glad I found this course! Thank You sir!"
"I have just completed this course and would comment accordingly. Extremely well-constructed, laid out and balanced course, targeting all the key areas of the sax. The information and advice provided by Simon provides the student with a sound grounding, and prepares them for their journey ahead. I found the lectures most informative and stimulating, and has further invigorated me to explore some new aspects of my playing too. Highly recommended, and I would urge anyone, certainly a beginner, to work through this course. Thank you, Will."
