Testimonials
“My son’s violin teacher is wonderful. Very talented musician, nice guy, laid back, wonderful teacher, motivates my son to want to play better and harder music – my son really likes him and enjoys lessons each week”. -Evaluation Response
“Once in a while you get the chance to do something worthwhile. I got the chance to take violin lessons. I am so happy I got to do this because thanks to Mrs. Amsterdam, I have learned so much. I am very lucky and appreciative to be on this wonderful scholarship. It has taught me how to be a leader and teach to my peers anything is possible and anything can happen if you work hard. When you get something, take it to another step for better experiences. I made it certain that the time will be worth it. I love having this opportunity”. – Student Response
