“Being a part of the Eastman Community Music School Summer High School Wind Ensemble was an incredible opportunity. I was able to meet so many amazing musicians and expand my knowledge of music. It’s a great experience for high schoolers thinking about going into music as a career, and even for students who just want to continue playing over the summer. This program, even though it’s a week long, had a lasting impact on me, and I fell deeper in love with music.”
