I cannot thank you enough for the effects I am experiencing with your Solfege Crash Course. One of my students had such intonation issues and we have worked through your solfege major course and it did wonders for her.

This was a very helpful course for me, and the sight-singing segment and tips for singing tougher exercises like chromatic scales will really help me as I teach my singers. Thank you for this very relevant material!
