"Amazing - Seriously Loved It! I took all his courses and have to say Im so happy! Learned loads! Jason is an awesome teacher!"

"Clear and Informative - Jason has a clear uncluttered style (with the important dashes of humor) of presentation that is focused on the important key aspects of this course Recommended for those starting out!"

"Dr Allen does it again with his music theory series This course really opened up everything I learned from the 1st section and now I understand more about the composition side of things for music I highly highly recommend this course to anyone!!!
