Endorse Alisher Latif-Zade
check_circleVerifiedIt was a pleasure working with Alisher. He definitely knows his craft and I can't wait to hand his scores over to my fellow musicians.
As a singer, who's just now learning more about music theory, it was of great help to work with someone who is an expert in his field and yet takes the time to explain certain things and meet you on eye level.
Thanks for the great work!
