It surprised me are how fast they got us to write a song and then got people to actually sing along and interact with everything.

The performance was superb! The children were engrossed from start to finish and wanted more.

"The audience joined in, singing the sequence of the water cycle. After the program, positive comments from parents exclaimed that this will give the kids a jump start on science in the upcoming school year."

Dave Young and Robin Pease came to my class and taught my classmates and me about the fundamentals about writing music and composing music.

Thanks! We need more PD like this in order to motivate our students to actively participate and learn concepts in various ways. Bring Robin back!

You all did an amazing job this summer. The performance showed real and substantive accomplishment by the children – a testament to your team’s work. Congratulations and THANK YOU!

Thank you. I especially will be using the side-by-side comparison of the Great Law of Peace and the Constitution. And my students enjoy learning about the Native American symbolism present on U. S. currency.
Hugh M. Cummings High School, Burlington, NC
When I had to go up and say my part, I thought I would be nervous. When I get nervous, my voice gets deep and it didn’t get deep. I wasn’t nervous and I was surprised they didn’t make me nervous. I was comfortable. They probably made me conquer my fear on getting nervous in front of people.

When you add movement to a poem, it makes it so much easier to understand.

Learning has never been such fun and so moving.
Clara Barton Elementary School, Levittown, PA
It was an amazing experience because they got me to come out of my shell.

"You are so talented. I think it really hits home and gets the point against bullying across…with the Greek masks on each character pleading their case/cause. I love the interaction with the audience.”
