    I’m so pleased with Musical You education programs and podcasts. Like most Im not happy with how far Ive progressed as a musician og 8 years on the sax. Musical you programs give me clarity on the finer detail. I need that, and also the motivation via roadmaps to see my way forward together with the determination to get “Further Up The Road”. Thanks Christopher and the Team.
