"I very much look forward to working with your kids again. I want to tell you how impressed I was with their level of development and I was especially pleased to see that they were singing in a healthy manner which was appropriate for their ages.....Not only were they singing appropriately for their ages, but they were unusually well prepared and aware, which was refreshing. I certainly wish that there had been a program like this when I was in high school. It is innovative programs like these that contribute to the highest forms of culture....All the best to a job well done." "I was amazed at the level of work they achieve, and I couldn't believe that this was achieved by high school students. Everyone who understands singing could recognize immediately that these kids have the knowledge of how to sing the proper way, and not push their voices beyond their limits." "You and your students have my great admiration for what you have achieved, and I look forward to hearing of your continued success in the future." |
"As a professor at a graduate level university, I am impressed with the talent.....these young singers possess beautiful, well-trained voices. They sing with musical and dramatic understanding. One might think this was a performance from an undergraduate music school. The Governor's School provides intensive educational opportunities for identified gifted students." "Our lasting impressions were amazement and delight at the abilities and accomplishments of the students. Mr. Fischer has done a splendid job of preparing his students vocally, but their understanding of musical style and their presentations were on par with many college juniors and seniors. I hope to be recruiting several of the young people currently in his program...." |
