Parent testimonials describe kids making music and learning to play as a band, with performances that parents find impressive and “priceless” to watch, and note that kids “have a great time while learning to play.” Parents also describe the instructors and staff as dedicated, professional, and accommodating, and mention that their children have grown in skill and personal confidence. One parent describes the structure around how kids learn as “amazing” and says that kids are learning how to communicate, respect people and their opinions, and be accountable for themselves, and another parent calls it “the best music program in the city” in their area.
