Campus
"It's such a refreshing feeling to be at CIM for a week doing composition and music. It reminds me how much I love it."

"The practice rooms that were available were a big help because I could go straight from an inspiring lesson/discussion and start work on something with the ideas and inspirations fresh in my mind."

"I think the trip to the museum is an excellent experience--I still can't get over the orange spot. Oh, and one cannot forget the lagoon. I cannot even begin to describe how much that helped my music out, and myself."
