Hi all,
I just came home from the summer 3 weeks residency 2014 at Wooten Woods (Victor Wooten´s center for music and nature), and would like to share my experience as a student there. To put it short, I had a fantastic time and learned more than I thought was possible in such a short time. Victor and his team of first-class musicians/instructors gave lessons in a wide range of aspects of music, such as theory, technique, performance, improvisation, career advice, etc. The opportunity to play with and get feedback from these world-class musicians was very inspirational.
I also greatly enjoyed the nature sessions, which included creating fire by rubbing sticks together, building a debris hut, nature awareness and use of the senses (very important in music!) plus a lot more. Even the food was outstanding!
To summarize: strongly recommended!
