Too much information for the time period. Wonderful information but half as much would have been more interesting perhaps with musical examples for each idea. Clearly an advanced instructor with much to teach. The user of apps and demonstrations were terrific... just a class in themselves. I still got a lot out of it and have a new respect for professional songwriting.
