"The word 'Modes' was what I feared most about music lessons. It’s significant in anyone's musical journey and for searching high and low I only managed to confuse myself further. Well, I fear no more and I have a whole new understanding of music theory. Thanks to you...I’m exploring and venturing into a new level of musical concepts that I just couldn’t ever understand. It never needed to be such a mystery had you been there when I started learning to play music!"
