Business Review
“This year will be our fourth year participating in the Summer Institute, and it has become an event that we value so highly that we plan our summer vacations around it!”
“The growth we have seen in all three children has been evident not only in their accomplishments for that particular week (which always impresses us!), but especially evident in the long-term effects of greatly improved music reading, their ability to analyze and play a piece with all the quality elements, and the easy transition they have back to regular piano lessons in August. I especially see a step change in their level of practice at home as they approach learning new things with a great amount of confidence” ~ Allison Souers (Parent)
