Testimonial
I see the passion and dedication you put in your work. You are able to connect with both clients and volunteers. Each session is always different from the previous one, the creative ideas and different musical instruments you come up with. You are able to motivate the clients and I see joy in their faces when they are able to express themselves through music. I believe music heals, Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heartstrings. It acts as medicine.
