Hello Everyone, After much thought I am going to suspend doing daily live lessons and return to posting a higher level of produced video content on roughly a biweekly basis. There will be a continuation of the 'Parent Tip Series' as well as additions of the 'Concepts' and 'Practical Theory' series, and I will absolutely be continuing the Friday Zoom Playalong. Thanks for watching. Oh, and Check back Wednesday for a new Groove Of The Month!
