I cameback realizing if I am going make a serious commitment on learning while investing my own time, there needs to be structure and guidance with an end in mind. This is where GMTC comes into play and I believe will deliver.

Thank you Bro Juan and glad to have you back.

It's very systematic, the tools and materials are great, and most of all, the instructors are great.

I love the replay that you can take your time if you didn’t get all of it in the live class. I love the other coaches they take their time with you and make it fun.

I have taken music many times before, even to the GMTC. But Dr. Onye is amazing. I love how he explains music like I have never heard it before. Thanks, Dr. Onye. I believe there is hope. And thanks, Mr. Jermaine, for telling me about the VIP coaching program.

Learning some things that I heard about but never knew clearly what they were, for example, the circle of 5ths, and the fact that the relative minor always has the same key signature as the major and is the 6th of that major.

Talked to the right person! Brian Hall encouraged me and was very polite.

It's the patience that is shown in the teaching video. I love the step-by-step instruction. I I love the quizzes at the end of the videos for you to do a learning check. Everything is made so easy for all skill sets. I don't feel intimidated as I'm learning from people who have years of experience and who are professionals in their field. It's just an overall great experience.
