“Gina Hanzlik has been a performance coach for small ensembles. She has lead workshops including “tips for the soloist” and “400 years of high notes.” During our growing years, she provided consultation on overall workshop structure and provided syllabus ideas that formed the basis for many workshops in the succeeding years. Her breadth of performance experience combined with her pedagogy background has made her an invaluable partner.
Her energy and enthusiasm for her topic is so infectious and both students and directors have responded with equal enthusiasm.”
