"I was so moved by Stephen's energy, enthusiasm and above all, the way in which he was able to communicate with the children musically. I immediately felt so joyful that my daughter was having the privilege to work with such talent.

Then came the night of performance... I, along with many others, was so moved and felt our souls when Lawrence Hamilton sang along with the children. When Kallen Esperian sang 'Over the Rainbow' with the children, the presence of magical rainbow on the stage was palpable, thanks to the lighting and the acoustic resonance of the stage. And Ronnie Milsap bringing all of us back down to earth to Nashville with "What a Difference You Made in My Life". It was truly an unforgettable experience.

When I spoke to my daughter about my thoughts, she said that the three professionals were truly wonderful people and that they had shared so generously and given them so much of their own insight musically and beyond. She had a blast. She is gaining so much confidence and esteem since the trip."
