Customer Feedback
"I'm finding the video very helpful. The very first day, it got me past a huge stumbling block. I've always had problems figuring out the rhythm for the introduction and making it sound right. In the first 5 minutes he cleared all that up for me by counting it as he played. The light immediately went on in my head. I really like the production and format. It's informal and seems personal, just like being in a master class with him, but without the stress and anxiety of playing for a master class. It gives a classroom feel, flows like a master class and I like that. He clearly explains and demonstrates the important points." |

"We like both DVDs: RH Physics and Capricho Arabe. It would be nice to have the same DVD made for Recuerdos de la Alhambra as was done for Capricho Arabe. Thanks." |

"Your teaching is thorough, to the point, and you play with a lovely tone too, and that's good for students like me who wish not just to be able to play, but to play with a beautiful sound. Thank you for everything you do to help all of us, especially for far away students, who do not have an opportunity to learn directly with a teacher of your caliber." |

"I'm thoroughly enjoying his musicality, especially his thoughts on rubato." "This is the most BEAUTIFUL rendition of Capricho Arabe I've heard in some time." "The trailer doesn't do him justice and I'm exhausted, having just went throuh the entire thing this weekend, and the inverted isolation really does help!" "He has amazing concentration— actually counted time aloud while performing the trickiest passage. BRAVO!" "I just finished my initial pass through it all and I'm very pleased with this production. The amount of information packed into this thing is amazing, filled with valuable insights and great advice. Thank you!" |
