PARENT:

Thank you for the AMAZING music concert tonight. Short and so sweet. There is nothing like a junior high concert that is masterminded/directed by you! We so appreciate the creativity and heart that you bring to the school music program

Loved it! Loved the examples and how we got right into it. Would almost like to have seen this session booked for two blocks.

Jennifer: last night’s concert was amazing!!!! It was truly something else. Those kids were so into it and it was outstanding! I love the links to the concepts and their own interests- you really have them engaged- they freaking loved it. Well done lady, you are a star!!!!

This is probably the most important quality, because it brings out the best in everyone involved."
