"Nico's support and critical help were essential to my ability to perform at a high level."
--- Kevin Hanek, '05

"[The most valuable lessons I learned were:] that it's ok to "think outside the box" and, as artists, we are actually supposed to. Also, pretentiousness and snobbery were not present at all. When working with people at this level, you realize they don't have to be that way because they are "the real deal", in more ways than just musically!"
--- Dasha Teelin, '05

"It changed me, in powerful ways. All the lessons... were so important, but the lesson that I unearthed myself as a result of the week's teachings and my own discovery was the most important. I can never go back to my old ways. I know my life forever has been changed and it's because of the week I spent at Vassar."
