I love this music set. The book is really easy to learn with and the coder is amazing. The book breaks advanced concepts in to bite size, easy to follow sections so you never feel overwhelmed. I was growing tired of books about music that to me seemed full of filler and unnecessary techniques that were 500 pages long. This book finally cleared up my confusion. I intend to purchase another one just to make sure if something happens to my original copy I'll still have it. I recommend to any musician buying this will be one of the greatest things you can do in your musical journey. Thanks so much for helping me gain the musical confidence I was missing.

Awesome product. Is organizing materials in my head. I can understand the circle of fifths and 4ths.

Easy to use, easy to understand and quite handy. Great tool for learning

It’s very good.

Excellent
