Our students enjoyed learning from her each time she came out to clinic and we are excited to continue working with her!"

  • "My favorite thing about Zack is the ability to know your group and their strengths and weaknesses. He has spent time with my students in rehearsals, quickly gauging their ability levels and their interests. He then takes that knowledge and develops an incredible product tailored not only to the director’s expectations, but to what the kids will buy into and love."

  • "Jolene's attention to detail and infectious energy kept rehearsals focused, efficient, and super productive, and our students made amazing progress all season because of her work.
