FESTIVAL COACHES

• The coaching was phenomenal. I really enjoyed seeing each piece of music from the perspectives of so many professional musicians.
• The coaches really helped me learn how to play with a small group. They taught me how enjoyable chamber groups can be.
• [I enjoyed having different coaches coaching the same piece as they] gave us more than one perspective of the music we were learning. Each comment was taken into careful consideration, for me to be able to bring out my way of playing the music.
