Repost Of Hymns Arrangement Course

Holy, Holy, Holy - Short Video Clip

Didn't get much work done due to the labor day's weekend :-)
Did receive lots of inquiries regarding the new hymns arrangement course. Here are more information about it:
1. This course is going to be a dvd course - not online course. This course is gear toward intermediate players and above.
2. Many ask about the price - I think it is a bit too early to set a price. Early birds will definitely get special discounts.
Those that want to sign up now (I am flattered that a few of you already want to order now)- please wait for a couple more weeks and check on this blog regularly to see the update on the release.
