What Are The Tutors Saying?
“A big focus of this workshop is about listening and learning from experience .
With my piano class I try to give them the experience of really feeling physically at ease with the instrument.”— Bruce Barth GMF pianist and piano tutor
“The approach is not just about music, it's about mind, body and spirit., and with all the different activities and they all work well together to feed the music. And then at the end of the night of course everyone has a jam session so I got to know not just the vocalists, but all the other musicians. It's been an amazing hang (happening).”— Carla Cook GMF vocalist and vocal tutor
