The retreats empower musicians to fulfill their dreams. Burton, each time I come I am recharged and inspired by your insights and the elegance of your teaching. I feel more connected to the deepest, most expressive aspects of musicmaking far more often as a result of working this way. My experience at MMMF was the most important musical and educational experience I've had in over a decade.
