Students
who have taken
"Making Your Performing Work
(for everyone)"

Tim Lynch (vocalist)
"I just wanted to say what a great pleasure and honor
it was for me to hear each of your amazing performances
and to receive your feedback yesterday.  
You were very generous with your praise
but also your forthright, perceptive, and constructive criticism.  Thanks also, of course, to Michael for his deft moderating, wonderful insights, and skillful accompaniment."

Ann Blake (vocalist/composer)
"The inquiry process really helped clarify
my own level of self-awareness as a performer.  
And the variety of performers, styles, instruments,
and levels in a small group worked great.  
Thanks for helping to turn me into a Real Composer!  
Looking forward to our Next Step."

Billy Clewlow (vocalist/songwriter)
"I went out to the Nevada desert to camp
immediately after our class and thought
almost constantly about the class—the benign structure,
Michael's skilled leadership, and all you amazing people.
I was nearly as stunned by my strong reaction
as I was by the class itself.  I loved it!  
The teachings of the Full Circle Communication model
contained so many things applicable to life in general,
as well as music and performance specifically.
Walking in the desert I could recall the clarity and emotion
in each of your voices as you performed. I could see
your faces feeling your songs and feeling
the reaction of the others. I could see fear turning to trust.
Thank you all for making it such a deeply special day.  
I can't wait for the next episode!"

Roger S. (bassist)
"Wonderful information, a new way
to assess performance...Looking forward
to Michael's next class."

Ouida Joi (vocalist/composer/workshop facilitator)
"After yesterday, I am committed to practicing!
Thank you all for being part of my breakthrough!
 And thank you, Michael. You are such an amazingly talented,
insightful, intuitive Being!  I Honor You!"

Fabienne D. (songwriter)
"Your accompaniment and communication skills
are excellent.  You created an environment
where everyone felt freer to take risks as performers
and commentators on all of the pieces that we heard."
