Quotes from parents:

"Magic Strings has given my children a real sense of community. The multi-age cooperative way that they learn not only helps them to learn musically, but socially as well. Magic Strings has helped them with goal setting and has given them a sense of confidence and accomplishment that expands into the rest of their life."

"Without Magic Strings, we would not have found out about the wonderful gift our son had hidden inside! The teachers are great and the program is phenomenal!"

"This is a great program that even helps with self confidence."

"Having the majority of the same classmates for four years, plus getting to know all four teachers through their group practices, has provided a consistency to my children's education that has been extremely beneficial and positive."

"Magic Strings has made a world of difference in my son's education. The four year experience makes a larger public school feel individual and intimate. The musical experience is transforming as well."

"I am thrilled with what Magic Strings has done for my daughter. Her interest in learning has increased. Memorizing music has helped her memorize math problems and toretain more of what is happening in her classroom. Her teacher is caring and knowledgeable. Older students have fellowshipped her and celebrated her successes with her and her self-esteem has improved. Magic Strings has been fantastic!"

"Magic Strings is a great program! Our family has two Magic Strings graduates and two still in the program. I like the 'family' this program creates. As a parent, it has been of great benefit to know the teachers each year and have a rapport with them."

"Magic Strings is the best thing that could be offered to a child who has such a strong creative, artistic side that is just waiting to be taped into! The group of teachers are the best...thank you Mrs. Arbury and to all the teachers for the program!!!"
