"Learning 13 Moons has helped me interpret each piece I play in a different way, and I have the knowledge and skill now to play the piece how I see fit, rather than just read the notes on the page. Having the amazing opportunity to work with Jodie on 13 Moons gave me the building blocks to be able to use my creative composing brain in every aspect of my playing."
Elizabeth Forrest, current undergraduate performance music student
