    Three cheers to Kadenze and its partner organizations to create the first online course to introduce teaching artistry. The course is lively and interesting and engaged me in a variety of ways. It whet my appetite for more. I am delighted to know about the work at Lincoln Center, Queensland University of Technology, and Sydney Opera House. I recommend the course to others to find out about this vibrant global field.
