A note from Josh
You are not learning alone.
"Thank you for trusting me with this. I have watched hundreds of students take their first note, and I still get excited every single time. Go at your own pace, and when something is not clicking, just ask. I read every message."
Josh Nakazawa ยท Hawaii Symphony cellist
