Music at The Towers: THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!

June 21, 2017

A LETTER from MS. CURRIE,

Dear MATT Parents and students,

If you attended the year end pool party yesterday, you received your certificates and special awards, for all your fine efforts this year. It was wonderful that the weather turned out perfectly for us. And the excellent refreshments Parents provided for the concert last week were so ample that we were able to use them for the party as well.See photos below.

BESIDES the joy of seeing our children at play, I received some very amazing gifts from all of you! You certainly touched my heart with the unexpected presentation of beautiful , and PURPLE! flowers, as well as two very generous restaurant gift cards. Somehow you guessed our longtime favorite restaurant, which we hardly ever afford to visit anymore, and another one which we would just LOVE to visit!
We will have two lovely evenings to enjoy throughout the next few months, thanks to all of you dear families.

Your participation in Music at the Towers is something which is my great pleasure to share- it is a joy for me to offer the gift of music, which has blessed me in so many ways all my life. So I think it is a WIN-WIN for us all!

Many thanks for your kindness and generosity to me, and for your continuing dedication to this "pearl of great price", MUSIC!

Congratulations on your hard work and dedication!

Letters from our MATT parents

"... My wife and I are immensely pleased with the benefits that our children have gained from this activity.

They are both learning to play the violin. The instructions have improved their listening, memory and concentration. They have become more disciplined and reliable as a result of the demanding practice that they must do at home. They understand that time management and organization are essential if they are to participate in other activities. There are also benefits... stage fright has been reduced. Playing with a group to make harmony has shown them the value of interdependence and integration. Perhaps best of all, it is most endearing to watch and listen to our children endeavoring to enchant us with their music.

We hope that this program will endure so that other families may experience the value of the involvement of children in playing musical instruments.

Yours truly,

N. Merrick

"...It is absolutely and inspiration to watch Ms. Andrea share her knowledge and love of music with all the kids of MATT. I am happy and feel extremely privileged to have my daughter enrolled in this program. It has helped her develop a keen interest in music, built her confidence and made her more responsible and disciplined by practicing 5 days a week. I think the MATT program gives kids in our community an opportunity to bring out their talents and most of all keeps them busy and helps them stay out of trouble"

Sincerely,

S. Hooper

"MATT is such an incredible beneficial orchestra program for children, especially for those whose families do not have a lot of disposal income to pay for classical music lessons. I wish MATT had been around when I was a kid. It would have given me my heart's desire to play an instrument from young, become accomplished and play in an orchestra all my life.

Classical music is so beautiful! It is a gift that keeps giving. MATT under the direction of an accomplished musician, Andrea Currie Jefferson, who dedicates her time without pay to help children receive such a gift is a worthy cause. Her desire to expand this successful program so more children can acquire this gift of music is worthy of financial support."

Christian Dal Dosso

"...I enjoyed his tweety bird sound on the violin... It was amazing..."

"... I liked watching all the instruments playing together, the solo Violinist was awesome. I hope I can play like that one day..."
