- “The violin has opened so many doors in my life. It has helped me become more calm and at peace with my life. Also I now play violin at my church occasionally. It makes me feel special and it gives me a reason to believe I am unique. While I play I forget about my annoying homework, stressful test and sometimes, complicated friendships. Playing. The violin makes me feel smart especially when we start a new song and I start to get the hang of it.”

– Student from the Salvation Army KROC Center in Boston - ”I really recommend for you to build more String programs so they will be more interested in music and life. At school, there is only a cappella, dance, and other sports programs. This makes me feel more special and fit in this world.”
