Experiences of a Cobano music student in Alabama
“Music is a universal language and it is always connecting us” by Anonymous
For me, as a student and young person, participating in the Huntsville Alabama Music Camp was a totally enriching experience in every way, not only because of the technical learning that it provided to me, but also because of the opportunity to expand my mind getting to know the culture, the place and the exceptional good reception that these people gave me.
The camp lasted about a week, however, my stay was 13 days and it was as Miss Susan says… “every day I learn something new”. I learned a lot every day I spent there. The camp was held in Huntsville Alabama, in a Methodist church that was spacious enough to house rehearsals, master classes and workshops of more than 8 different orchestras. The organization was always very professional and the directors, composers, instrumentalists and teachers worked in a strictly professional and committed way which allowed us to have very good results at the end of the camp.
The second week was much quieter and we spent it in Nashville, Tennessee, where we were with another family that was just as friendly and hospitable as the family that awarded us a place to stay in Huntsville. In Nashville we visited downtown, museums, and other touristic places which were very fun and enjoyable. In summary, it was a very nice experience.
