| 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! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | Edit Delete | bernice724@yahoo.com | 5 | It's a joy to work with Heather. She's an amazing pianist. I appreciate her musical perspective and the contributions she makes to each individuals performance. | 5 | Kris is always willing to give something a try - even when it doesn't follow standard musical practice. He has an infectious calm presence. I'm amazed at how much he remembers with very little time. | 5 | It was wonderful to have Leah with us again this year. Hew guidance is always insightful and supportive. She has helped me find my voice. I love her warm-ups. | 5 | I didn't get to formally work with Banu as much as usual this year but her presence and support were still powerful. She has helped me build my confidence and comfort with being on stage. | 5 | I've really enjoyed working with Flo over the past couple years. I love the warm-ups she brings to us. Her feedback is always thoughtful and respectful and she brings a kind and supportive presence. | 5 | It was fun to work more with Meryl this year. She has definitely challenged and inspired me to explore vocal possibilities take more risks and have fun. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Generally speaking the food at camp has been good. This year I thought the food was better than in the past with one major exception. This year there was very little available for our vegan friends to eat and less creativity with their food needs. It almost felt like an afterthought. It would be really nice to have a truly vegan option available with each meal. | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | I was wondering about a workshop on female composers of the time and their influence on jazz. I thought it might be fun to learn some of their songs. | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Yes | No | 5 | 5 | It might be fun to have a special performance by the scholarship students. - I think you actually already did that for a song or two this year | That I am always encouraged. That camp is a safe place to try new and challenging things. Honest feedback. Being with friends. | The lack of creative vegan food options |
