However, it occasionally leans too heavily into motivational content and extended self-promotion, diminishing focus from core theory concepts.

Despite these areas for improvement, the practical exercises offer immense value in enhancing creativity and confidence in one's musical journey.

  • Occasional lack of preparation in presentations, resulting in reliance on slide reading
