As someone who's been playing piano and guitar for years, arranging was always a struggle for me. Sheet music was always easier than the frustration of trying to figure things out by ear and create my own arrangements. This course changed all that! Constantino helped bridge the gap between theory and practical ear based arranging. The lessons are broken down into real, achievable lessons that helped me see improvement and motivated me to keep going each lesson. The lessons were a perfect balance of challenging but encouraging. Concepts I'd been trying to grasp for years finally started to click. Constantino's feedback is great. His ideas and knowledge is immense. I can't recommend this course enough. It's opened up a whole new side of music for me.
