Comments:  What I learned from NYSSSA was much more than "choral  studies". I can't begin to describe the self esteem, confidence, and direction it gave me.

Comments: NYSSSA was the greatest experience of my pre-college life. If I hadn't gone there, I never would have met Dr. McCorvey, and he turned out to be my studio professor in college. NYSSSA firmly planted my feet on the path to my current situation.
