-- Testimonials from Feb 2023 students --

"Thank you so much for challenging me/us to use the DAW more. i've felt so shy with it for a while, and now it feels like a friend. Thanks for just being really human in the class, I really appreciated how uninhibited you were, and your general openness to others. It loosened me up and inspired me to try not to overthink the shit out of things."

"Bartees I love the way you are grounded, yourself and have a real 'This is not rocket science' approach to music. You really took all the fear away and have installed the belief that by being myself I can make music and it's not about being 'technical' or more about what you bring. After doing your course I feel relaxed and unpressured and I feel comfortable & unblocked to have a go at making music purely for me and what I want my expression into the world to be."
