TESTIMONIALS FROM VIRTUAL INSTITUTE STUDENTS
"Last summer's virtual institute was so fun and incredibly inspiring. The score reading workshop was just the right challenge: something that felt just out of reach, but possible thanks to Vince's calming and thoughtful guidance. I came away with a deeper awareness of my preparation process and more confident in my abilities overall, which has made subsequent practicing more enjoyable. Everyone in the choral arranging workshop was so welcoming and supportive (including the special guests at the end)! Seeing Vince run each session felt like watching a masterclass in radical acceptance of every learner for who and where we were in our respective musical journeys, and proved that even an online space can foster the kind of trust that allows for musically meaningful risk-taking."
"The (virtual) summer institute was the perfect from-home reset which allowed me to reassess my musicianship and inspired me to develop my personal musical practice. The institute really did “change my life” in the sense that it changed my ongoing practice habits this year. The teachers’ caring attention, plus a unique community of like-minded learners, make this a unique online experience."
"Ear Training enabled me to accept precious invitations during this pandemic to sing outdoors with people I didn't know, sight-reading rep I hadn't seen in advance. I wouldn't trade that for the world right now!"
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the last virtual institute (and I’m signing up soon for this one!) I felt so musically enriched and supported by the instructors. I’ve never taken classes more invigorating for the musical soul."
"My experience of the Choral Arranging Workshop this past summer was great. The week felt very productive, with clearly guided and supported goals and positive criticism. I also really enjoyed the perspectives, arranging styles and feedback from my colleagues in the workshop!"
