I was lowkey having a pretty bad day and was about to bail but I made it and am now going to sleep so happy. Your goal of putting a smile on people’s faces was definitely accomplished tonight.

I loved the class, and I think it helped my daughter open up a bit towards the end when you played her song. I wanted to find something fun to do with with her and bond with her, so I’m glad you offered this and we came.

For the last few years, we have tried numerous camps and programs and my child drops out after one or two sessions. This is the only program my child asks to return to each week. It’s such a relief to witness and I’m so grateful for the program.
