Tips From The Top โ€“ Volume 2‘, the sixth tutorial DVD I have produced in the Yamaha Club’s โ€˜Playing Yamahaโ€™ series, is now available.

A second helping of easy to follow mini-workshops and step-by-step demonstrations from the Yamaha Club archive. Glyn Madden and James Woodcock present a further selection of hints and tips as we answer some of the Yamaha playerโ€™s most frequently asked questions.

The DVD also includes a trailer previewing 10 original compositions I created, that will be available soon on Audio CD from the Yamaha Club!
