"I have been to EICC for the past 3 years and truely feel it has helped to improve my playing ability.  EICC has changed the clarinetist I am and has encouraged me to strive to be a great musician.  EICC is all about you, your clarinet, some other great people, and having an awesomely cool time!"  Steph
 
"EICC offers an opportunity to work individually and in small groups with confidence in performance.  This confidence transfers to other school subjects and everyday life experiences.  EICC also offers an opportunity for Jr. High and High School students to experience living on a college campus.  This includes dormatory life, food service, and music classes while under a college student's supervision."  Norm
