20 Years of Summer Intensive.

In 2008, we celebrate our 20th Summer Intensive course. More than a token cause for celebration, we see this anniversary as an opportunity—a time to evaluate our strengths, the qualities that brought us to where we are today, and most important, how we can use them to make our students’ futures as bright as they can be. So what are those qualities? Looking back, we found that our strong suit has been people: the instructors, the students and all the friends who support our unique brand of education. They have all truly made it our privilege to teach what we love. Many students, when they reflect on their time here, are filled with emotion and enthusiasm. They remember it as a critical time in their lives, a summer, week, or weekend that guided them to a new path and changed their lives in a positive way. That’s why we do it. That’s what we work so hard to achieve. Of course, just because we changed lives and had a good time along the way, we’re not finished growing or improving. In fact, we’ve realized that growing and improving are the very qualities that have been critical to RMSP’s success. In the process, students have gained much more than knowledge and skills. They’ve made connections with those around them. They’ve embraced diversity. They’ve learned how support and encouragement are essential to the artist’s journey. And in recognizing the vulnerability of others, our students have been inspired by the sheer joy of community. Our humble thanks go out to all the students, staff and faculty who have been a part of the school during the past 20 years. We know you share in our excitement as we reflect on what we’ve all done, and where we’re all going.
