“I am an adult learner, and I have gone from never having played a brass instrument to pretty decent on the tuba in just over a year, using the beginning and intermediate Master the Tuba courses! I'm now playing with a brass quintet and the community concert band. I'm looking forward to the next course! Thank you for a great course!”

“He really knows what he is talking about. I am already playing in a band.”
