1.  Is this the David Burge course which has been advertised in the AFM
journal, "International Musician" for years? Burge is a very reputable
pianist, contemporary music specialist, with solid academic credentials
and experience.

2.  What's the website URL?

3.  Funny thing, I've never known anybody to complain publically about it
this course.  Nor, on the other hand, have I known anybody to endorse it.

4.  Try it, send it back if you don't like it?

5.  Let us ALL know!
