Leah Waldo is such a powerful woman and a smart teacher, I learnt so much from this course! Thank you!
This course seems silly at first But it's an eye opener, Especially to the idea that the business seems a bit off kilter and over enthusiastic
Very good material for singer/songwriter with a small band wanting to make their first recording, or a budding artist planning to put something together.
