Testimonials

"I have known Kian for the past 6 years. During this time I have seen a young man become more dedicated and informed about music performance, music composition and arranging. He has also become one of [the] best student leaders I have ever had as a music teacher. Kian is a teacher's aid for me in my intermediate band. He has already made a huge impact with the students in this class were mostly 8th graders. Kian started with me in our beginning band is the 7th grader. He quickly confirmed in my mind that he was a strong musician and a studious student at our school. Keon put together a couple of music videos where he demonstrated his composition skills and performance skills where in his split screen video Kian playing trumpet, guitar and trombone in an original composition.
To say your University or institution would be lucky to have his talents and intellectual curiosity is an understatement. Ken has shown over the last 6 years that he not only is talented but he cares. He cares about his own scholarship and that of his peers and mentees."
