WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
"The camp was awesome and empowering for my child. Great combination of professionalism (great music) and fun. Despite being the youngest in his band my son felt very welcomed and included in the group and loved the people and Max the instructor. He will come back :)" - Yotam G.
"My kid loved it! She came home the first day so animated and excited. She loved going every day, learned so much and can’t wait to go back. And bonus points for introducing her to great music and giving her a different kind of appreciation of it!" - Greta C.
"My child came home wanting to play the guitar every night and woke up in the morning and picked up his guitar. He made good friends and really enjoyed his teacher!" - Zachary G.
"My kids felt hesitant and a little shy to jump into a summer music camp with basically no prior experience. After day one, they were already asking if they could sign up again.

We would definitely recommend this program (and already have!)" - Elliot H.
