This was my first time to try and participate online. I was a bit meh about it. The best part is that I was able to connect with people I had never met before at the workshop and share music and smiles too. I was very impressed!
It was very heartwarming to be able to share space, feelings, and atmosphere beyond the distance and time difference. It was a very enjoyable experience. It was the first time for me to communicate with people I had never met before through a screen, and I was anxious, but it was interesting to hear and share each other’s ideas and feelings. I also liked that they are trying to spread the importance and beauty of music therapy to many people.
I had taken several theater workshops in the past, but this workshop was the most refreshing for me. I thought I was doing fine, but in fact, I felt that my mind might be tired. A workshop on taking care of the mind is wonderful! I would like to participate again!

I found the static and dynamic nature of the class development very engaging and informative. Mark’s personality was wonderful and enriching.
In fact, it was great to be able to discuss with a teacher who conducts online classes, and to see the humor and smiles there. I learned that you can communicate well to others by delivering energy even through a camera.
I was very happy to have the opportunity to listen to Dr. Mark. It was very easy to listen to him because of the smooth progression with the interpreter. I was impressed by what he said about the importance of sharing what is important. Thank you very much.
