Parent Reviews of the MusicAtOurHouse Program

"MusicAtOurHouse has really opened my son up to music in so many ways. He loves the way you present the material and is starting to form definite preferences in his musical choices. Thanks so very much for the marvelous work you are doing. Your product is top drawer and I can't endorse it enough."  -Francesco M, Virginia

"I would like to say big thank you. Your class actually inspired my son to write. Alexander is 8 and writing has not yet been his interest, but after several lectures he actually asked me if he could write a paragraph. It was quite a surprise to me, a nice surprise. So your class is a double benefit for our family." -Elena S.

"My children are enjoying learning music history with Mr. Johnson -- he is very knowledgeable, and teaches with much enthusiasm, gentleness, and encouragement. Thank you for a wonderful class." -Margaret C, California
