Excellent explanations
Really specific and clear, however, would be good to update so the latest version of Play is being used in demonstrations. I am currently using Play Version 6.1.0, 25 March 2019.

Very Infomative
This is a very methodical and well done program. After having watched each video a couple of times it has really helped me understand EWQL Symphonic orchestra. My only quibble is that, (as with other of his series) he tends in places to go to quick. In this series especially I don't understand clearly how to set up keyswitches or the constant reference to cc tis or cc that. What is CC?? Other than that it's a great series and I learned a lot!!!
