What people are saying
“Participating in the TA Summer Intensive was a fantastic experience! I enjoyed learning with and learning from other adult string players. Even though we were on Zoom, we came together and made music in Summer 2021. The instructors were terrific and really understood the challenges faced by adult players of all levels. Instructors were attentive to participants' needs and made the week fly by.”
— Carla R
“Not only is the programming for Tamarack diverse and thoughtful, but Director Emily's ability to instantly create a warm and inviting space for all made it easy to be creative and to absorb the wealth of spectacular information shared throughout the weekend.”
— Natalie Spehar, cello faculty
“I was glad to have the opportunity to join with other musicians and excellent teachers. The event was well organized with a mix of group sessions, individual lessons, and time for individual practice. I so appreciate the 1:1 time with the teachers!”
— Steve C
