Students & parents
Heard in the hallway
“I'm 52 and finally playing the Chopin nocturne I heard as a kid. Hana broke it into bars I could actually manage.”
“Our daughter went from shy to singing a solo at the showcase. The teachers care about confidence as much as notes.”
“The band program is the best thing I did in high school. We played our first real gig in week ten.”
