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."

Rose Concert 'Gypsy Violin'

"... was nice. I liked the violinist, he was playing fast. It was great... We had fun"

Christian Dal Dosso

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

Mya Norman

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