Excellent course! Very well designed and systematically organised with useful materials. I have learnt a lot and gained confidence to continue my music path, Thank you Professor Edwards!

Really clear and useful introduction (or refresher) for basic harmony. The only thing I feel is missing is something on modulation as without this you're kind of 'stuck in first gear'.
