This course is a compilation of four master classes that I gave during the month of November 2017 to students from all over the globe in the form of a Webinar Series.

Each class is one hour long and comes with a course package - so a total of four hours of classes and 38 pages of Pdf's that illustrate the lessons.

In the Style of Michael Valeanu
About the In The Style series:
The In The Style series focus strictly on the playing style of the artist. These are not general "how to" lessons. The goal of these lessons is to give insight on a wide range of topics relevant to the musical style of the artist. Advanced students will be able to immediately absorb and work on many of the concepts covered in the lessons. Beginner and intermediate level students will benefit greatly from the transcriptions of the numerous video performances with close ups when relevant. Music is like a language, and it is best learnt by surrounding yourself with better musicians. The goal of the "In The Style Series" is to give you this access, as much as possible, in the comfort of your own home!
