"My son has grown and learned more about what it really takes to be part of an industry than most kids will ever experience", says Stephen Grisanti. "Seeing my son on stage playing with Lagond and jamming to heavy Latin, Funk tunes in serious clubs is the ultimate dream." - Parent
 

 
"Hey Charlie, Tom McGowan here. Man that was freekin’ awesome! I can’t believe how good you are with those kids, and the professionalism of the performance that you pulled off after such a short time. Congratulations! You have my admiration." - Parent
 

 
"Hi Charlie, this is Claire McGowan. Thanks and congratulations too. You guys did a fantastic job. I can see why it is that you are a pro. It was really, really good. We enjoyed ourselves a lot. Thanks very much, it was a great job."
 

 
"The first semester was awesome! Edan had a wonderful experience playing and cooperating with other musicians, and the gigs at the end of the semester were not only an experience for him, it was a great fun time for the whole family. We are looking forward to the next semester. As they all know each other well, I am sure that it will be reflected in their confidence playing together which will make the music even better." - Shaul Dover, Parent

Just a quick thank you for all you've done for Jon over these past few months. Last night was amazing and of course, these things don't just "happen." I appreciate all your hard work and planning, as does Jon. – Mindy Sirlin, Parent

We’re looking forward to tomorrow’s too!" – Barbara Marks, Parent

Please share this with Charlie, I meant to call you yesterday. I got the best Christmas gift Jesse could have ever given me. On Wednesday, he came home from lesson all excited about a new song he was learning ("Bohemian ?"). He couldn't wait for me to hear the CD and then play it for me (on sax and drums!). (I have to beg to get him to play for me!) THen he said, "It is really hard but so much fun to play". That was music to my ears! I don' t ever recall seeing that kind of enthusiasm from him. Thanks Charlie! Maybe we are finally breaking through and turning a corner in Jesse's musical life! Carolyn
