Voros has dedicated his life to repairing instruments and has vast experience in fixing guitars for George Gruhn. While other luthiers may specialize in expensive guitars, Voros knows how to correctly repair all manner of guitars ranging from the humble acoustic to the world famous Gibson or Fender models.

One Size Fits All

In fact, the aforementioned brands are used as examples in the program which consists of three full-length DVD’s of detailed yet easy to understand instruction from Voros. Everything from tuning to maintenance is covered in steps that any guitar player can follow and comprehend. Although Voros uses a handful of examples in the DVD’s, the lessons are designed to be all encompassing so any make of guitar will be improved by the lessons.

Although most the performance of most guitars will increase massively by following these DVD’s, there comes a time when the basics just aren’t enough. Amazingly, Legacy Learning has thought of this too as Voros has agreed to personally setup the guitars of those who buy this course. Their website gives simple instructions about how to send them your guitar which will then receive professional repair. If the setup is going to be a complicated matter, Voros will contact you with an estimate which allows you to decide if you wish to proceed.

If you are in any way serious about play the guitar then, then Learn and Master Guitar Setup is an essential purchase. It costs only $49 and the results it produces could be worth several times that.

The Learn and Master series is best known for its excellent courses for teaching music lovers how to become better musicians through expert teaching but there are other creative pursuits that they cater to as well. One of these pursuits is painting and the Learn and Master Painting course is the most comprehensive painting course of its kind on the market. If you want to learn how to paint, then this is the one online painting course you will want to check out.

First Impressions

Despite the fact that Learn and Master Painting has nothing to do with the other courses on the series, it still follows the same pattern as the rest of them. Legacy Learning believes in the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ mantra and this course manages to successfully utilize the CD’s, DVD’s and book format to teach it’s students how to paint. You get 20 CD’s which covers every conceivable painting angle, from color theory, the various brushstrokes, to the different painting styles like oil painting. The course is taught by Gayle Levee who has a very impressive resume. She has won several Juried Exhibits and awards for her work and has given painting lectures and master-classes at many prestigious venues. In any regular art class, it is impossible to see everything that the instructor does but no such problems exist here with the DVD format as it allows Levee to expertly show you everything you need to know.

Quality Teaching

Of course with painting, you see some visual instruction too, so the included book caters to this need. Every single lesson you learn is contained within this book it is quite easy to look-up a particular aspect of painting from leafing through the book and learn that way. However, Gayle Levee’s instruction is among the best you will get anywhere. Many artists claim that having a certain genre of music playing in the background heightens their creativity and with this in mind, Legacy Learning has added three CD’s to the package which contains these separate genres: Classical, orchestral, and modern. It’s a cool addition and I like that they added it.

Self Paced Learning

When viewing the first Learn and Master Painting DVD, you will be introduced to the most basic fundamentals of painting. This is a godsend to those who have never picked up a brush in their life. Yet after you get through a few DVD’s, even those with prior experience will pick up some new painting tips and by the time you finish the course, you will be learning painting techniques and producing work of the quality that you never dreamed possible. Best of all, everything flows at your own pace. If you find it too difficult to keep up, you can always pause and practice until you are satisfied with your work, safe in the knowledge that Gayle will be waiting for you!

As with all its courses, you get email and phone support, and you can interact with other students on the forums.

While old movies like Strictly Ballroom found a limited audience, recent shows like Dancing with the Stars have revived public interest in this art form. Celebrities like Shawn Johnson and Jerry Rice have appeared on one of the many incarnations of such shows across the world. The popularity of these shows is staggering and proves that ballroom dancing is certainly ‘in’ and will remain so for some time. With this in mind, perhaps it is time to get limber and try to impress members of the opposite sex. Learn and Master Ballroom Dance aims to show that it is the best way to get in dancing shape in a relatively short space of time.

Learn Ballroom On Your Own

Don’t fear, this course caters for those who believe that they have two left feet when it comes to dancing. There are 13 DVD’s which are designed to show you every move from beginning to end.

With this course, you have no prying eyes trained on you as you trip the light fantastic and the lessons are designed in such a way that you don’t need a partner to become a top quality ballroom dancer.

Innovative DVDs

This is because each ballroom dance lesson on the DVD’s show the individual moves that need to be perfected by the male and female alone. During every lesson, the screen gets split up into two parts, one shows the instructors feet, the other concentrates on the entire body. Your instructors are Jaimee Simon and Mark Short and they are well known around the dance community as two of the very best.

Clear Explanations

Rather than dive straight into the dancing, Mark and Jaimee take a few moments to explain the timing and posture of every single ballroom dance move. This is vital because most new dancers will be completely lost and may never get their timing right if it’s not properly explained to them. This is a major flaw in other ballroom dancing courses and regular classes don’t devote enough time to this either. The CD’s allow you to dance along to the music that accompanies your DVD lessons and ensures that great fun is had by all participants. Use the 75 page book to check out diagrams and illustrations which are essential to learn each ballroom dance step properly.
