Here's what past students have said...

- One of my favorite parts about Bay View Music Festival is the community. Apart from the large student artist house and the fellowship that comes with that, the festival is part of a larger community made up of people called "cottagers" (families who spend their summers vacationing in the lovely, quaint homes of Bay View). Our performances throughout the summer are attended by them, many of whom provided scholarship money for us to attend the festival. My favorite people were the front row regulars: to see their faces every time I step on stage was a great comfort. They became an extended family to the students and watched us grow musically throughout the summer. This is something really unique and precious to Bay View Music Festival.
- An incredibly supportive and available faculty!
- An amazing number of opportunities in vocal music, more than we could ever get at our colleges.
- A scenically beautiful, musically enriching place to spend your summer!
- The chance to finally focus on my craft without distractions.
- I had one of the best summers of my life at Bay View; it was full of joy and discoveries, both musical and personal; and I found inner resources that I needed to strengthen myself as an artist.
- If you want a way to make amazing music with amazing people, then this is the place to be.
- Bay View provides a unique and wonderful summer experience that offers fantastic opportunity for artistic and professional growth.
