James Hill

“A fabulous, logical and freeing way to approach music.” “Now I will use my ears! Duh-why didn’t I think of that?”

"I learned more in an hour from you than I have in one year of trying to learn by myself."

"I'm a music minor in college, and I went through music theory classes, but I just never thought about music like that!"

“Lots of ‘Ah-ha’ moments!”
