Business Review
My daughter participated in the Summer Strings program with Mr. Deming and had a wonderful time! She met a lot of new friends and learned a variety of musical styles. Being able to play in the performance/concert for parents at the end of the session was a thrill for her as well. As a parent, I could not believe how much material she learned in such a short amount of time! I highly recommend this program for students who wish to enrich their learning for their instrument.
