CAMP ENCORE-CODA

Dear Jamie and Ellen,

    I really enjoyed my experience at Encore/Coda this summer. This has been my first year here and I think it has surpassed all of the other music camps I have been to in the last five years. This has been an experience on to its own and I feel privileged to take part in it.

    I found at this camp, that the staff was friendly and courteous. Everybody was willing to lend a helping hand. I found that other staff members who I did not have direct contact with over the course of the weeks, were more then willing to help me. I liked this a lot.

    I also enjoyed the casual, but musically intense atmosphere offered at this camp. I was surprised after I left camp at the end of the first session, that I had learned so much about my instrument and also other instruments that I had not had the chance to play. I also enjoyed the food. At other camps I was only able to eat stuff from the salad bar, but here there was a plentiful array of things for me to eat because I am a vegetarian. I also thought the food staff was really cool and made great food.

    The first and foremost center of attention for people in this camp was for campers to progress. I found that in my own personal musical experience, I progressed a lot. I am a much better player now then I was before I stared at Encore/Coda. I would like to thank you for helping me to progress in my musical endeavors. Thank you for having a great camp.

Dear Jamie and Ellen,

    We could go on and on about all of the good things at Encore/Coda. This past summer especially we were very pleased with Katelin’s voice teacher, and in musical theatre. They were obviously very talented and worked well with the campers.

    I have always felt very comfortable with Katelin being at your camp. I knew she was being taken care of. She felt comfortable and felt that when she had a problem people listened. Katelin will probably not be attending camp next year, as she will be working. It has been a great experience for her and I am so grateful we have your camp in our area. Thank you for everything!
