about Play Expressively Course
This course is designed for many levels of players, from lifelong amateurs to those who have played a few years. Many of the principles can be applied across the board. However, if you have recently begun playing (in the last 2 years), this course will cover many things that are quite difficult for you to accomplish at this point and is not recommended. Consider our other online offerings - Scor! Strings Membership or Topical Individual Instruction. Ask us any questions about your level through the "Email us" button below.)
Each week you'll have a suggestion of which chapters to go through, and they include video lessons, written lessons, quizzes, and assignments. There are also Bonus Classes available. This will take about one partial day each week for 8 weeks. In between, you can practice on your own and complete the assignments offered. Since this is a self-paced course, you can do it at your own pace, so it will take whatever commitment you want to make.
This course is to enrich your knowledge and inspire your playing. It won't take up too much time or be super intense. The amount of time and effort you put in, and therefore the level of result you get out of it, is up to you.
The assignments may be practicing assignments or writing assignments. They merely serve to motivate you to apply the ideas and techniques being presented in the course. They will not be turned in to the instructor, but are for your own benefit.
No, we cannot give you a refund, because your fee is for access to the course materials, which will be made available to you. If this becomes an inconvenient time for you, you can always access the course materials later, and still receive the same benefit from them.
We'd love to have you join us!
