Perfect! Ash is awesome! He really is good at breaking down the instrument from a music theory perspective and making it much easier than it seems to play as opposed to a more classical approach.He has lots of tricks and methods for working both the mind as well as the body in terms of practices. I leave feeling more intelligent and equipped. I also like how he structures things in an easy way and uses both the piano and dry erase board. I can tell he has really thought about the students perspective and I look forward to growing into a little beast on the keyboard. I highly recommend him to anybody who is looking to get better on the keyboard, music theory and songwriting with the piano.
