I feel so lucky to be working with such life-changing mentors and to be surrounded by such talented peers who share the same passion as I do. The whole environment is inspiring here because everyone here appreciates the arts and are working hard at their talents. I have only been here a week, and I have already learned so much about technique and voice skills.
