This is my second year and I love it. I think the faculty is the biggest draw. These are world class teachers, the session I was at last year had fantastic teachers as well. This year I am working with different people, so every lesson, every studio class you get something new and someone from around the world and its just special.

This is my first summer at Adamant. A teacher I studied with a while ago recommended Adamant to me and I've heard about it through a lot of different pianists and it just seemed like a really cool experience. It has been a really fun experience.
