Testimonials

“The various live practicing opportunities were incredibly valuable. The pacing felt great. I appreciated the way our facilitators paused to give feedback and suggestions. The way we gradually layered additional considerations into each rehearsal seemed to keep all of us right at the edge of our zones of proximal development.”

“The facilitators were so gracious and supportive and made the experience an especially worthwhile learning opportunity. I really hope I can come back to a future institute to keep practicing in this setting.”

“I have a much clearer idea now of how to improve the current somewhat haphazard approach to rehearsals currently going on in the course I teach. I knew the source material was an issue but wasn’t sure what to do about it, and I also have a much clearer plan of how to build rehearsals into the course and make sure they are targeted and effective.”
