h3. WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS COURSE
The tutor was really good! I liked that he gave very detailed feedback for each audition. The feedback came to be very useful even when it wasn't my instrument, the broad tips still applied. There was a lot I did not know and I know feel a lot more prepared and somewhat advantaged after getting the insider tips
Craig Scott was extremely helpful and really tested my abilities to make sure I would improve the second time round
This course gave me a lot of pointers in how to improve my playing. It was very nerve racking standing on the stage in front of everyone but I think it’s a good simulator of actual audition nerves.
