"I love that in one short lesson you can learn by listening, music notation and tablature. You also learn a song where you can use the notes just reviewed as well as some music theory and history. You can also download the song and practice it anywhere. Excellent! Thank you for the time and effort to put this together!"
- Sandra I. Alvarez
"I took a chance with this online course. After 10 days of consistent practice, I can say that I have made more progress that I expected. I have always dreamed of playing the cuatro but was never able to make the time for it. It is a personal goal but I also believe it should be a collective goal to ensure that the musical tradition is kept alive."
- Reynaldo Cordero
