When I first heard of “The McClintock Piano Course”, I had been working for a dozen years in the jazz and commercial fields. I had been away from formal education for quite awhile. When I began to study the Course, my confidence, musical awareness and my musical goals grew stronger. After a year of work with the Course, I auditioned and was accepted on scholarship at one of the foremost music schools in New York — graduating with a Masters degree. Shortly thereafter I was made a member of the Jazz Faculty. I am now involved with jazz education and it is a joy to observe the impact of the Course on my students.The scope and clarity of The McClintock Piano Course is seriously needed in today’s curricula.
