"Thank you for providing our students with the opportunity to have Sean teach them about writing music and cultural heroes. Our students learned so much about different styles of music, folk instruments, and how to creatively approach song writing. The music and curriculum that Sean used for this experience is excellent. I wish more students would have the opportunity to have Sean come to their classroom for this type of hands-on learning."
-- Lee Ann Parker, music teacher, Spring Hill Elementary School, Knoxville, Tennessee
