The theory lessons was adapted to my level of knowledge. To have a teacher that is also a bass player worked really well. Since I'm from Sweden, I was a bit afraid that different semantics would give me a hard time, but that was addressed properly, and was never an issue. The flow of the lessons was perfect, with theory and practice in a good mix. I would highly recommend Calvan, if you want to learn more about the fundamentals of music, especially if you are a fellow bass player.

Knows how to tailor the information to your own learning style and makes it as simple as possible. Made huge strides in music theory in just a few lessons. Can’t wait to learn more. Worth every dollar I spend, seriously.
