5. Edit Delete 5 Katie was so generous at the slow jam and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. 5 Heather is an incredible musician and was tireless in her efforts to help the vocalists work on their songs and make them sound wonderful. 5 Kris was very patient and really helpful to the vocalists. 5 What an incredible honor it was to learn from Leah Chase. She's one of those people who makes you want to stop whatever you're doing and really pay attention anytime she speaks. What I appreciated most about her instruction was that she struck the perfect balance of being encouraging without sugar-coating. She gave me the feedback--particularly around conveying feeling and telling a story--that I most needed to hear. 5 Banu's wealth of experience shines through every moment of her teaching. She's funny direct and creates an environment of ease in the classroom. Despite the fact that she had a million tasks to do at every moment while running camp she was present in our voice classes and took the time to invest in each one of us. 5 I wish I had had more time to work with Flo. I only got one afternoon class with her but in that time I internalized two important messages from her: nobody knows what your perfect is and remember that you sing because it's fun. 5 I aspire to have the ear and technical attunement that Meryl has. She helped me iron out so many of the techincal questions I had about the tunes I was singing all of which helped me sound as good as possible. Hearing the feedback she gave the other vocalists also made me a better singer. 2 4 5 4 2 5 I completely understand that the hotel was short-staffed but the mornings where the coffee ran out were rough. 4 5 5 2 5 5 3 5 If there were any way to make the final Friday concert shorter that would be ideal. Also I think putting the dance floor in the center of the room with tables on either side would have facilitated more dancing and socializing at the 1920s Prohibition Dance. Yes Yes 5 5 I loved that I had the opportunity to get to know the other vocalists so well and to have such pointed and ongoing feedback from the teachers. I wish there had been more opportunities during class time to sing with a full band. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience that gave me a confidence boost I didn't know I needed. I hope to come back!
