Testimonials
As a single father of two living in low income housing, I would not be able to afford such luxury as giving my children music lessons that they so desire and appreciate. This was a wonderful opportunity for the community on a whole. I am hoping that we can hold on to this program as long as possible.

Music makes good feelings. Your hands exercise because when you play piano your bones and muscles are working to make music.
– Jadon, age 7 (piano)
I practice because I want to be the best musician ever when I grow up, or when I’m little. I play violin because I like to perform and I want people to say ‘hey, this girl is only little to play that good’. Music inspires me to not give up, because I know I can get better.

Even though we don’t have an extravagant life, I am very happy for my children. These kind, patient, unique, gifted, understanding and talented teachers in my children’s lives is an amazing gift. These teachers set a strong example for the children. Having this music in our community is a dream come true. If I didn’t get this chance in our community, my children would not have the chance to learn music. Because of the music, I am not going to move from Gordonridge.
