You’re helping young children probably more than can be imagined when you consider the potential long term impact on their future. Also things like this have the potential to build upon one another and multiply. You’re bringing hope and happiness to many ( including us old rock & roll fans) in various ways which is a good thing in life.

Our daughter  is now in her fourth year at UMC, learning ukulele, electric and acoustic guitar, and drums. It has been an experience that will certainly shape her future. She did not just learn how to play an instrument and go on her way. The experience of publicly performing what she learned has given her poise, self-confidence and clearly a sense of achievement. Regardless of where life takes her, the UMC experience will help her prepare for whatever she wants to do with her life.

There is an extra plus in learning from two professional musicians like Mark Woerpel and Mike Arturi. They have been everywhere, seen it and done it. Both had confidence in her at times when we thought she might be tackling something too hard.

The curriculum was fantastic as it played on the students’ love of music, but also taught them about the business of music. Many had never considered the possible career opportunities with marketing, staging, sound/lights, etc. Mike did an amazing job at figuring out what each student’s gifts and talents were to benefit the group. His passion for music and teaching really comes through in everything he does.

I have a feeling that we are going to have a very meaningful experience at your studio. My daughter and I look forward to the experience.

The Universal Music Center is an asset to the community and has the potential to grow and establish itself as a premier learning and supporting organization.

Mike, we’re so glad the UMC Band Performance went so well.  Another successful step toward your vision. Congratulations!
