Final Reflection Questions
What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?
|
The program helped me have a better understanding of music theory and just playing in general. When I came I wasn't very confident in my playing abilities and definitely didn't have any improvising skills. Now I feel much more confident with improvisation and will continue to use that when playing the cello. I think I grew more as a musician in the short weeks that I was there than I had my entire time playing the cello growing up. Also just being in Italy and being able to go to Venice and see all those amazing buildings and sights were incredible. I had an unforgettable experience getting to know everyone and study music in such an awesome country!

Definitely take this program if you want to grow more as a musician and especially if you want to learn about jazz. It is tailored to what you want to do, so it's nice to have that flexibility in deciding what you want to learn.
