"Thumbs up to you guys..This course went way above my expectation. Beginning with the diminished scale, the course demonstrates how some of the very common (yet not so easy to grasp) scales are actually used in film music. The Hirajoshi scale and Whole tone scale sections were my favorite parts."
"Got this course as a part of the bundle. Overall, this is a really well-designed learning course. I wish it was a bit longer. "
