    Small bite sized music writing ideas that are easy to implement and have a big impact. Love!

    sophisticated piano contents
    I’m really enjoying your podcast and like the 2 person dialogue! It’s short enough for busy lives, yet insightful enough to give me good musical ideas, and, tips. Thanks a bunch! NLFreda

    Good music, but it isn't good teaching
    I do feel like this is a hack, but not really in a positive way... This should be called "Follow Along As We Write Music." I may enjoy it then... But do it as a youtube channel... Not a podcast... Because you don't edit your podcast... Like a podcaster. You talk to your computer monitor. I feel like you are trying to put the shutters on the house before you even lay the foundation... "If you don't know Dorian... Read my book... If you don't know Perfect 5th... read my book." No... I'll move on to another podcast... That makes your audience feel stupid. Even when I do know what Dorian is... Funny right? Annoying.

    Pretty Good content, horrible delivery.
    The content is good, though I do wish the episodes were longer and dove deeper into the ideas discussed. Everything seems super rushed and the people delivering the information couldn’t me more annoying. Why does it feel like I’m watching a infomercial in the 90s? It’s not only patronizing but distracting. Your already making it relevant enough with the examples your using, I don’t think you need to treat your audience like a bunch of 1st graders.

    Very good,
    But I have to agree, porting the video to audio makes it seem like I’m listening to an infomercial. I’m sure that is not the intention. I wish for the following: longer episodes that dive deep into these complex areas of theory. The examples they use are outstanding, but it makes you want more content that is fit for the audio world. Cheers!

    Great content, but difficult to follow audio
    It is really difficult to follow along when you state, “This guy” and point at a screen that the podcast listeners can’t see. There is some really great stuff here! I just get lost from time to time because the audio is not descriptive enough to follow. Rather than saying “this guy”, referring to a note, state “the 3rd of the minor chord”, or “the Bb in the 2nd chord”.
