I don't know how to put it (his experience) in words. It was an experience and a half, very much a learning experience that gave me a real profound feeling and appreciation of the subtleties and direction in music. I can't thank Prof. Mair enough or the college for funding me. It's all so surreal. I know it's motivated me to propel me to the next level. Anyone going to an event like this will come back wanting to be a better musician. That's for sure.
