Review for North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance Inc, Saugerties, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Summersongs is a wonderful workshop/camp experience for musicians/singers/songwriters. It is a place where beginning and experienced musicians come together to share and experience the beautiful experiences of music, to teach and learn about how to write and compose songs and lyrics, and to strengthen musical bonds and community. One of the best parts of Summersongs is the inclusion of everyone, even people brand new to the music community. All levels are encouraged to share and grow in a supportive environment. Classes, performances, and small group opportunities are offered so everyone can share and experience the wonderful and valuable gift of music.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The growth of the people that attend the camps, both personally and musically, including myself.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

being able to share my musical ideas with others, something I would not have the opportunity or the courage to do so otherwise.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Completely devoted to music and the growth of the individuals who attend the camps.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Spread the gift and opportunities of music to the whole world.

Ways to make it better...

Summersongs had more funding to be able to afford more teachers

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Funding. It is a not-for-profit run by one person and the organization often scrapes by due to budget constraints.
