“Our week with [BRAVO! Music teacher] Mr. Z was very impressive and exciting. He brought so much to my students – more than just knowing how to play the flute. He gave me many ideas for teaching music – we loved his games. What a fantastic program! … I wish I could suggest that the entire school be exposed to this program.” — Ojai Teacher



“Students react and behave differently after our BRAVO! programs. They use more imagination and creativity in their writing projects, and are more eager to seek out new information.” — Ojai Teacher

“Dear Andy, Thank you for showing us a Big Instrument that we [had] never seen before. We liked the fun games that you did for us. Everyone wants you to come back.” — Diego, age 10

“Our students have received the many benefits of music education thanks to the expertise, talent, and huge desire of the Ojai Music Festival to provide high quality music education to as many children as possible” — Cynthia M. Dillon, Principal, Sunset Elementary
