Orchestra Director Karen Hooper from TX: “The skills fostered [at MWROC] are going to be vital to my students not only as musicians, but as human beings and America’s future leaders. My students need a voice, and it is my responsibility to give them the platform on which to be heard.”

Orchestra Director Darcie Pickering from Pearl River, NY : “MWROC was an amazing experience for me, both as a musician and as an educator. Mark’s unique approach to the violin is accessible to virtually any level player. I’ve got my 5th grade orchestra playing “We Will Rock You” complete with choreography and improvisation. The concert band is jealous and my orchestra is LOVING it!”

Orchestra Director Nicole Peragine from Aberdeen, NC: “The whole Mark Wood family has the potential and power to transform music education in this country. Since attending, I have begun to embrace improvisation in my classroom and have explored a wide variety of styles with my students that I was afraid to explore before. Mark’s vision is inspiring, powerful, and more importantly accessible to musicians of all levels.”
