"If you have wanted to tackle the awesome skill of improvisation, THIS IS WHERE TO START! Daniel Plane is just the right combination of an expert player AND a true teacher."
Loralyn S. (Founder of Red Desert Violin)
"I started playing fiddle/violin about 9 years ago. I felt I had reached a certain level in terms of basic skills and sight reading, but what was missing for me was knowing how to 'play along' with any tune - how to approach that. This course was just what I needed; it gave me a lot of the missing pieces, and it has already advanced my understanding, confidence and abilities. Thanks so much, Daniel, this course was great! "
- Betty from Toronto, Canada
"Moving from relying 100% on sheet music to feeling comfortable using my ear to pick out a tune and to then improvise was amazing! This course gave me the tools to make that possible (and enjoyable!) "
