TOP REVIEWS FROM DEVELOPING YOUR MUSICIANSHIP: FINAL PROJECT
Best Course and experience I've had in my music education so far. It got me to create things i wouldn't normally do and I love it! It opened a new world of music for me.
outstanding -- loved every minute of it! George is an amazing teacher and enjoyed watching his videos and learning from him. I am now applying everything I learned in his course to my own music!
Amazing!! George W. Russell Jr is the best. Thank you
This was a good course but the final project seemed a little for my skill level maybe. Thanks for the course, though.
