Not only does [the songwriting course] provide an extensive & thorough understanding of Ableton, but also includes music theory and numerous other musical concepts akin to a classical music training.
VegardHa
Both [the Live Performance & Pigments courses] are very thorough & go into great detail, covering basically anything you need to know. The information is well presented, & the videos don't get boring.

Anthony has such a laidback yet very informative teaching style. No matter what video I watch, I always take away at least one new technique or method to try out.
