This material requires over 4G of space. For convenient transmission, the files have been bundled into 6 'zip' files, one for the notation pdfs, two for the tutorial videos, one for the technique and box notation videos and two for the MP3s (audio tracks). You can't download the zips directly to an iOS device like an ipad. So please first download the zip files to your computer or external hard drive, unzip the files and then transfer them to your device(s). Thank you!
