“My favorite week of 2017! I knew this was going to be a great trip, but I never imagined it soooo great! I learned so much!” *****
Monique Rappa“WHAT A TRIP! I learned a lot about jazz and performing, but also about myself. Ilse made everything easy and nice. If you want to live a dream – sing jazz in New York, go with her!”

Stay
We stay at a hotel or apartment in the city center. Lessons take place in a studio or at the apartment.
Routine
Mornings are for lessons, afternoons for leisure and nights for performances or shows. If it’s still too scary for you to perform, you can always choose not to.
