Some users are saying:
The program is incredible. I thank you sincerely for your
dedication and your contribution to the study and dissemination of
West African music. ... I love this software! Thanks for a
great program and a wonderful website. ... Many thanks for your
advices, the website and the "logiciel"! Great work for this
great instrument! ... fell in love with the kora in Conakry
Guinea finding teachers and info is difficult, this venue is
proving invaluable ... thank you so much for your website,
forum, and all the work you put in that program ... I'm totally
amazed by this software! Thank you so much, I can't believe this
exists, it's so hard to find a kora teacher – this will really
help before I can afford to go to West Africa and learn from
people there ... bravo pour ce travail
gigantesque! ... I must admit we are very blessed that someone like you
would go to the effort to put this together. I (probably like most people) live in a
place where a kora teacher is impossible to find, so your software makes the
difference between playing kora well or just tinkering.
... absolutely superb kora teaching
resource that's about the best teaching package I've seen for
any musical instrument!
