Feedback on the Seminars
"I'm still thinking about Saturday; you're a very engaging presenter and the seminar was extremely informative. I have been writing and orchestrating for years, but I've never thought of some of your systematic methods. Things like "pads" I didn't even have a name for!"
"Thanks again for another awesome seminar!"
"They've really been a great series. Can't wait for the next round!"
"Just sayin Hi , the seminar was awesome!"
"Thanks Norman. Was a great and inspirational seminar. Always nice when you can immediately apply the knowledge."
"It was such a fantastic seminar today. You just made music analysis much easier, and I would love to apply your analysis method to other scores. Thank you for showing us the great way to study music!"
"That was just great yesterday! Sorry I needed to run before telling you how much I enjoyed it, and how much I felt that seeing the comparisons of the versions gives clarity. You are right, it needs a whole book! Let me know- I’ll get a copy!"

It was extremely interesting and have also enjoyed meeting other students online.
