I want to thank you again. First of all, for sending the composition he created in the workshop and second of all for the AMAZING job you did teaching. In only 3 hours, you have already given him the skills that he needed to continue composing at home. He has been having lots of fun on GarageBand!

Tami Brewster

Activity Leader

It’s always fun to see how creativity emerges when there are no parameters. I love seeing kids be kids and enjoy each other’s company while learning from each other and building each other up.
