  1. Hi Mandomoreno, I simply want to congratulate you on your raising such intelligent children! There is so much talent in your family. I am a musician myself, but I have to say that I learned a good portion of theory and I studied the saxophone for 6 years. But, Armando is probably a genius on the guitar. Sometimes, I would like to go back to school to finish up my university degree. Your story was very inspiring. Thank you.

    1. Hi Luc

      Wow! I really appreciate your comment, your words are really a good support for my works, you are the first person that review my website, still in construction, and you just give me more power and inspirations to keep working on my goals. I am making this website to sharing all my simple knowledge about music, acquired after many years of hard dedication, especially for all the parents interesting in driving their young children into the music education, like I did.

      Thank you very much, Luc !

      Your words are very important for me!

      Armando
