“An AMAZING partner. It’s been amazing to see our young people FALL IN LOVE with PERFORMANCE. We know that quality music education is valuable in its own right. But it also teaches discipline, teamwork, and improves ACADEMIC SCHOOLS. It’s been a joy to collaborate – our children are benefitting!”

“As a strong supporter of the arts, I COMMEND this program for undertaking the mission of exposing students to various FORMS OF EXPRESSION. The arts enhance lives and culture and it is especially IMPERATIVE for young people to have opportunities to express themselves through dance, music, visual arts, performance, or other art forms.”

“My son is deliriously HAPPY and has fallen deeper in love with playing the cello-he completely LIGHTS UP when he gets to perform. Anna Stampfli is WONDERFUL and she, along with the other musicians/instructors are MIRACLE workers and have helped my son and others find their musical PASSIONS. Thank you so much for bringing such a RICH and NURTURING music program to MSC and we are all so eager to see it FLOURISH and reach new heights in the fall.”
