  • “MUSIC Inc. has provided my son with the opportunity to not only learn how to play the violin and read music but it has also developed his confidence, persistence, ambition and love for music. I am grateful to MUSIC Inc. for helping my son develop into a well-rounded,  self-motivated individual. The skills that he is learning can be applied through all facets of his life. It is just reinforcing what we are teaching him at home. I hope that MUSIC Inc. can continue to assist future students.”
