Letters from Presenters

“The teachers at the Alma Intermediate School were amazed by the songwriting workshops. The educational value of the workshops far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend the workshops that can be paired with the performances. The teachers have requested that we also do a school concert next year for all the students in the intermediate school as well as a future songwriting workshop for all fifth graders! Thank you for a wonderful experience!” -Teresa Schlabach, Alma PAC

“Keith and Ezra’s live shows are full of energy and audience participation. I have found them to be remarkably sensitive to their with the flexibility to adapt their show for the age groups attending their performance…I can’t recommend Trout Fishing in America enough to anyone who is looking for a family music concert, or an arts program that will involve kids in the creative process.” – Tim Wadham, St. Louis County Library
