Comments from past participants:

"I should share just how grateful I was to spend the week with you all last summer.  It was definitely the best professional opportunity I have had in many, many years of practice.  As a pianist who for years has had trouble getting away from the music on the page, it improved my improvisation skills immensely.  It also has given me so many concrete ways to help my interns improve their functional piano skills.”

"It was one of the most useful CBMT programs that I have taken. [Instructors are] very sensitive to participants’ needs and willing to provide any info for professional growth."

“They were the lecturers I wish I’d had my entire scholastic life. [The instructors] were so engaging and enthusiastic about every detail of what [they] were explaining and I can only describe it as hypnotic. I learnt more in those four days than I did my entire undergraduate degree and it’s down to you. This remains the finest educational experience of my life.”
