Jon Gilbertson is that rare combination of both radiantly gifted teacher and tenor who has the…read moreinnate and alchemical ability to help you transmute the raw material of your voice into vocal gold. After just one lesson with Jon, I heard dramatic improvement in my singing, and, after your first session with him, no doubt you will, too. Jon believes in an integrated approach to learning, one that borrows from other disciplines--art, film, photography, sports--to help you master vocal technique. What Jon will tell you in your first lesson is that there are no shortcuts to the diligence and dedication necessary to developing your fullest potential as a singer. What he may not tell you, however (he's no gloater;)), is that the success of the very technique he teaches is tested and proven by the numerous success stories of his own students as well as his own success as a tenor in winning prestigious voice competitions at the national and regional levels. Helping you to tap into, and harness, your right-brain creativity, is essential to his proven teaching method. Jon is one of the most positive and extraordinarily creative teachers I've had the privilege of working with. He expertly assesses your vocal needs and tailors your sessions to meet your goals. If you want to work with the very BEST there is, then look no further than the Jon Gilbertson Studio of Performance and Fine Art.

There is some info and items from the Civil War, but a sizable chunk of the displays are about the riot. While I wouldn't make this a destination of itself - there's a lot to do around the harbor, so if you have a half hour to hour, and want to learn a bit about Baltimore it's worth a stop and your support. This could also be a great add on stop to a trip to Fort McHenry - if you were planning on using the water taxi anyway.

So disappointed! I was expecting well anything more than this. It was like paintings and props…read more Very little info or artifacts on the Civil war. It was like a mix match of collections including a skeleton, Babe Ruth info, Edgar Allen Poe, and the Circus, early railroad. Yeah no lie. It reminded me of 5th grade science exhibits where everyone had a small space to show whatever they wanted. Not tied together at all. It boasted that it was part of the Under Ground railroad. Once inside an 8x10 card told you the building was once a railroad station that Fredrick Dougless LIKELY passed thru on his way to freedom. What? There is nothing "underground" about a regular train station. The only good part was it only cost me 3 dollars.....to be disappointed.

I visited the Carroll Mansion a few weeks ago when my mother in law was visiting Baltimore for a…read moreweekend. None of us had been and decided to check in out when we were nearby. What is it? The home of the last surviving signer of Declaration of Independence (he lived more than 50 years after signing) and the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence - Charles Carroll of Carrollton. He lived in the house for the last 12 years of his life, and then the house went through other iterations - saloon, factory/sweat shop, vocational school, and recreation center - before becoming a museum. The house still has incredible bones, but it's rather empty. Our tour was interesting - our tour guide was clearly fascinated, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about Maryland history and the house and Carroll, but I wish the house didn't feel so empty. (We also found it hard to figure out how to get in to do a tour. We checked the hours online, but then there were various signs that seemed to point to the wrong entrance. We made a walk past the whole building twice before seeing someone inside through a window and just waving to ask if we could do a tour.) Overall, it was interesting, but not something you shouldn't miss if you visit in Baltimore. Definitely worth visiting if you're very interested in Maryland history or federalist architecture or Carroll himself!

From a historic site enthusiast, this place on initial glance is a bit of a letdown? Why? Because…read moreit's pretty empty. It's kind of like you are going on a realtor tour. BUT. There is a reason why. Charles Carroll was the longest lived and last to die signer of the Declaration of Independence. And the house is really nice. The staircase itself is beautiful as are some fireplaces. I believe the bedroom had a bed in it. Most of the furniture is gone because the museum closed for a couple of years because of cut funding and according to the tour guide, some locals were harassing tourists in that part of town at the time. Which really sucks. Because this guy deserves to have a nice presentation and people deserve to visit a place without being scared. C'mon Baltimore. We parked nearby in a garage and there is street parking if you can find it. Our tour guide was dressed very casually as if no one ever came (no one else came while we were there) but he knew his stuff. It was a very basic, bare-bones presentation but once he mentioned they were working on acquiring pieces and getting loans, I know this stuff takes time. As an experience, it wasn't great, but I consider it a $5 donation to getting the house back in shape. It's only open weekends from like 12-4. If one day it's back to what it sounds like it was, I'd love to come back. The house is really pretty on its own with a nice little garden in the back.

However, I think I had even more fun than my child. As a lover of slapstick comedy and cheesy jokes, my heart was full. I laughed so hard, I almost cried at one point. His tricks were perfectly appropriate for the young 3, 4 & 5 year olds, as well as adults. Everyone was impressed and amazed. I felt like I was living my best life as a guest at this birthday party, and have peaked on the birthday party circuit. I can't imagine that any other kids birthday party will even come close to our experience and the fun we had. He included a variety of acts, and made sure the birthday girl felt special- involving her in quite a few acts. He also is a balloon artist and made sure to make animals for all of the guests at the end. The kids really loved everything and he held the attention of the entire room, for the entire show. He was very patient and kind if/when any children needed redirecting during the show. He is truly an expert in his field and craft. You can tell he loves kids and loves his job.
