Awesome

You guys are wonderful. Really enjoying this podcast. ❤️🧡💛

Great show for all levels of interest!

I just discovered this show, and I’m starting from the beginning because I want to learn. I like how the show is structured and how the hosts make very complex information approachable. It is very academic but not dry and lecture like. I still would not survive if I had to rely on my circle of 5ths understanding, but I hope to someday!

What a treasure!

I’ve been going through the backlogs of this series and it has been an amazing learning experience. My understanding of music theory and terms has improved immeasurably. Thank you! Y’all rock!!
