TESTIMONIALS
“These workshops are beyond valuable… I wish I had that training growing up!
Can’t believe how good Aria’s sight-reading is! Thank you, thank you! She sang harmony the whole time, and she was reading the music! Like NO JOKE. Game changer!!”
“It was a perfect mix of interactive games and exercises with talks and teaching moments at the board. It goes by fast but it gave me time to feel like I had really learned.
Instead of being told to just do something, we’re told why and it makes sense with what we’re learning that day.
”
“My girls LOVED it!!!! Ella and Ava were so excited when they left, saying, ‘it was so refreshing to be with other musicians who can sing and harmonize.’
They were in absolute heaven and ADORED you both.”
“Thanks Baraka and Laura! I was walking out of the class, super excited and wanting to learn more. I was telling my mom that I felt like I learned more in 2 hours than I would have in like a year of doing actual music lessons. ”
“Aria LOVED the class! She said it was the shortest 3 hours of her life! She’s been showing me everything [she learned] all day! And then she went to my mom’s house and showed her! She just had an amazing time!”
