I would HIGHLY recommend this to other schools. We feel fortunate to have had a Class Notes Concert here. It was just awesome for the kids and the teachers too!— Third Grade Teacher, Lino Lakes
Our students were exposed to and participated in some great world music, heard fabulous stories from around the world and learned about new instruments in an excellent and engaging presentation by talented performers! Most of all, the performers exuded musical joy and were truly wonderful people who just had fun with the students and their teachers!— General Music Teacher, St. Paul
