TESTIMONIALS
“Fascinating courses, highly recommended! You move from the basics to the more rigorous in a well laid-out progression. There is ongoing and abundant review of the theory needed to compose, plus fun activities to help get the creative juices flowing. Templates and prompts guide you along the way so you’re never left stranded and staring at an empty sheet of staff paper. I feel like a kid in a candy store and around each aisle there is something even more interesting!”

“I’m incredibly thrilled! Carol has gone beyond anything you could imagine in this extraordinary, well-thought-out program! The concepts are taught from innovative angles, teaching you how to create playable, inventive music to fit every level of student. There are absolutely no courses or materials out there that even come close in comparison! I especially love the videos, in which Carol shares a bit of her history and personality, making the journey feel very connected.”
