“Ansel has grown through this program—both musically and personally. His confidence has increased tremendously, and it’s been amazing to watch him develop his skills and passion for music. We love the opportunities he has to watch others perform and to perform in front of a crowd. I truly appreciate the support and encouragement Fried Music provides to all their students.”
