Testimonials

I want to thank you all for a great experience. It reinforced the sense of endless learning that comes with music. The instruction was amazing.  And it covered topics which were not necessarily new but were told in a different way…The length of time was perfect. –Clare Cavanaugh

The instructors were terrific… providing some of the best teaching I have seen in an educational context; the organization and structure worked well; and the length of time was perfect for me.–Kathleen Wells
