"MPulse is an amazing music camp. You get to work with talented profesors of your instrument, other high schoolers who love music or theater or dance as much as you, and counselors that are always there for you. I have been to numerous music camps and the community of friendship at MPulse is unlike any other." Ellie (oboe 2009, Illinois)
"MPulse ws a life changing experience for me. I had NO idea how much I would learn, interact with teachers, and make life-long friends. I wasn't sure how I was going to deal with music in college because I want to major in the medical field but minor in music. Now I'm positive that I will keep music as part of my life forever!" Stephanie (oboe 2009, Illinois)
"MPulse significantly fortified my skills as a musician; there was a noticeable difference in my abilitiees that ocurred during the two wek time span." Ian (oboe 2009, Michigan)
