    I’m 50 and feel like I can’t do this. However I saw your mini course on Melodics and your energy is contagious. The MPC Live One has been sitting over there talking to me. I am going to try this. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration. Be safe.

    I haven’t played with the metronome in years, I’m really trying to now. I was in the orchestra back in HS and played the violin, I’m teaching myself how to play the piano now and it’s difficult a bit to play to the metronome. Your videos and confidence have definitely helped me in ways…
