Like to access some old time turn around anb double stops
Hi Patrick,
Sounds good. I don’t have individual materials available right now; if you’re looking for a specific course, I can offer you complete past courses; I’m juts not doing individual lessons or materials yet. I’m hoping to have a new website together at some point this year where students can have access for a month at a time, or can possibly access bits of material as they choose. For now, if you want to email me at [email protected] with any specific questions, feel free and maybe we can get something worked out.
Thanks!
Matt Flinner
