General Comments

Overall recommendation:


Definitely Not	Absolutely

Best aspect:

Stunning end of SI performance. Very attentive and passionate teachers,

Least liked about program:

Wish there had been more focus on technique versus the performance pieces

Suggested changes to program:

Forego a performance and just have parent observation days. I believe their instruction could have been very helpful

Culture of program:

Very supportive, positive, friendly, passionate

Other comments:

If you’re wanting a beautiful end of the SI performance then this is it. If you want focused technique then this isn’t the SI you want. But if they changed the SI to focus on technique then these instructors would do a fantastic job.
