WHAT KIDS & PARENTS SAY ABOUT SONGWRITING FOR KIDS:
"You infused my daughter with songs. She hummed, she sang, she danced--I should put that in present tense--she hums, she sings, she dances more than ever after that week spent with you. But for her, the finished piece is the most valued aspect of the week. She is SO PROUD to have been a part of making and recording and performing an original song."
