"The following are some very positive results that I have observed in Jeremy's progress as a result of being under your enthusiastic and wonderful teaching, (besides the brilliant MYC curriculum.) Jeremy has excellent sight reading skills and I have often observed him playing new songs with confidence which I believe is the result of building strong foundations in reading music notes,hearing and dynamics.) The teaching of counting rhythms and simple representations for them (in the paradigm' suited for children) such as hops, ti-ti,turtle etc...has really helped them get a good grasp and feel of timing and tempo. He seems to have a good feel of the song when he claps (the rhythms out) before he begins. I am impressed with Jeremy's progress of which is the direct result of your excellent work together with the MYC techniques.Well done! Keep up the good work and I know you will bring the joy of music into many more homes. Thank you." (Sunbeams 2 parent)
"I just wanted to share some fun stuff with you. Even though Ivy doesn’t sing along in class, she does sing to herself at home.Earlier this afternoon, she was belting out the Itsy Bitsy Spider, with gusto. And she improvises too. She’s been making up her own songs about Buddy Croak.(“I’mBuddy Croak and I bounce, bounce, bounce…”)." (Sunrise parent)
Nate and Tara: "Emma, We wanted to say that music class with you has been joyful from September to June! Your enthusiasm combined with skill, knowledge and natural ability with children has been a real pleasure to behold. Thank You. Tara and Nate
