Testimonials

So good to be able to go at your own pace. Very well explained and demonstrated as well as easy to follow ~ A Linnell
It was very easy to work through the modules and the quiz sections helped to consolidate what I'd learned. The instructor had a nice tone as he used straight forward language when discussing key points. I am looking forward to sit my exam. I hope there will be some more courses for other grades ~ R Stone
I am really studying grade 5/6 but decided to have a look at all the levels and I think that if I were really studying grade 1, I would be happy with the way grade one was organized and taught. I am a retired language teacher so I feel I can assess the course from a teaching point of view and I find it very to the point and amenable at the same time ~ P Chambers
This is really good, if you are just learning music theory or want to brush up on the course, especially if you only know one type of cleft and you need to know the others say for if your learning a new instrument or for school or exams, its a starter so it takes you right back and you can go over the areas that you don't know or have forgotten.....It's a great course and you can take as long as you like, so long as you don't have exams coming up, so if you have problems studying like me its perfect ~ Yvonne
