"As a Foreign Service Officer living in Beijing, China, I was looking for a summer music camp for my 15-year-old daughter Gabrielle.  By chance, I saw an ad for the Eastern U.S. Music Camp and contacted Mr. & Mrs. Brown.&nbp; They were extremely attentive and responsive to any concerns we had because my daughter would be doing this on her own while we remained overseas.  As it turned out, she was ecstatic about the experience, felt it had tremendously improved her oboe playing and is already planning to return next summer.  My only regret is that I didn't know about Eastern before."
