RAY LUCK'S INTERNATIONAL PIANO WORKSHOP
St. Lucia School of Music July 22 - 26, 2007

From participants of previous piano workshops

"Imagine a school of music surrounded by fiery red flamboyant trees on a hillside overlooking the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea... windows wide open to let the sea breezes in with a sweeping vista of the surrounding hills and sea below... The entire St Lucian experience was incredible. I could go on and on - about the people, the places, the workshop... I enjoyed it."

"Just want to say thanks for a wonderful couple of days. I am sure all the others have said that it was the most inspiring experience for them, but for me it was particularly important and necessary. I really needed something to get me back on a path of some sort."

"I became very motivated and inspired by Dr. Luck's lessons and style of teaching, mostly gaining a better understanding of how to approach music from various periods..."
