Seminars
"I learned so much in that one hour, it was unbelievable."

"...informative yet engaging and accessible as well."

"This was a time for the teachers to put out a lot of varied information not necessarily on just one topic. I found, the more tangents incorporated in the lectures the more I learned."

"I loved the Brouwer seminar, she gave great advice, and was an eloquent speaker who writes very interesting and colorful music."

"The seminars lead the way to more analytical thinking as well as offering inspiration."
