I learned so much at MTB! I feel as though this program equipped me with the necessary skills to go out into a professional opera and musical theater career. The instructors were full of life and energy, making it a very positive and exciting learning experience. I would highly recommend this program to any young singer who wants to pursue a career in opera or musical theater.

Music Theater Bavaria has absolutely changed the way that I approach singing. My technique improved vastly, and my confidence level was raised by working with some incredible teachers who showed me that I could be so much more. I am greatly indebted to all, including my fellow students, who made the trip so much more than I could have possibly imagined. Richard Owens brought my voice so far in such a short period of time…I only wish I could continue seeing him two times a week! |

Music Theater Bavaria gave me the quality training I was seeking. Aside from the physical training an actor needs to succeed, the program really gave me an insight on the business, how to market myself as an actress, and ideas on what the next step would be for me as a post-undergraduate.

The time I spent studying with Music Theater Bavaria greatly enhanced my vocal and stage performance techniques. I loved being in the “performance mindset” and having the opportunity to work on my craft with experts in the field. I even became more comfortable singing in German and gained an appreciation for it. This was the best summer intensive program I have ever attended. The countryside was breathtaking, the teachers were dedicated to getting the best out of every student, and the cultural experiences made the trip so worthwhile. |

When I was looking at summer programs, I wasn’t sure whether MTB would be worth the money. It was. I learned so much every week, my teacher and coaches were great, I definitely improved my dance skills, and the master classes were amazing. Now I have no doubt that this is my passion, and I feel like I’m ready to go out and audition. And Bavaria was really fun! This was probably the best summer of my life. |

Music Theater Bavaria was truly the experience of a lifetime. The knowledge that I was exposed to will not only stay with me for years to come, but will influence the way that I write and perceive music forever.

MTB is an action-packed one-on-one learning experience of a lifetime that I suggest any performer should not miss! |

| During this trip I was a sponge. Everything that every teacher said I took to heart and applied to my vocal talents. I have grown more and progressed further in these weeks than I had ever in the past. I could feel the difference and others could hear it. This has changed my life profusely because now I can see the possibility of an operatic career closer on the horizon. |

This is an experience of a lifetime; it is something that I will never forget. I have made life long friends and have learned more than I could ever imagine I would in such a short time. If you have the chance to go, do it. You won’t regret it. |

Working with such inspiring people has really made a difference in the way I interpret music. Before coming this summer I wasn’t sure if music was really the right thing for me to do as a career, but after being in such a positive environment with people who love music as much as I do I see that it is the only thing for me. I feel like my vocal and performing techniques have improved tremendously by working with such a passionate and creative staff who really care. |

When I came to MTB I was undecided about whether I wanted to pursue a singing career, and was thinking about both opera and musical theater. This may sound strange, but one of the good things about MTB was that it made me realize that professional singing is not for me right now. I really liked the voice lessons with Jess and the coachings with Dean, and all the practical advice about careers helped me to understand I would not like the uncertainty of that lifestyle. I loved Oberaudorf, and how friendly and patient all the German people were! |

It was really great meeting new friends from around the world, living in a place with many other artists, working with friendly staff and traveling! It was absolutely a wonderful experience of a lifetime! The performances were fun, and gave me much repertoire to add to my personal list of pieces. |
