Parent testimonials describe kids making music and learning to play as a band, with performances that parents find impressive and experiences they describe as priceless. Parents also report that kids have a great time while learning to play, that lifelong skills and relationships are born there, and that instructors and staff are dedicated, professional, and share their passion for music. One parent notes that the structure around how kids learn includes both instrument lessons and learning how to be part of a band, and mentions kids learning to communicate, respect people and their opinions, and be accountable for themselves.
