Thank you for such a wonderful time at Zodiac this summer! Getting to work with you and playing with the other students was so inspiring and a wonderful reminder of why I chose to pursue a path in music. It was so refreshing to be given the time and space to really enjoy learning and making music. I really hope I can come to Zodiac again sometime in the future!
