What People Are Saying

 

“What a wonderful opportunity Flashpoint provided our 6-18 year old scholars during their summer activity camp!  The students had an opportunity to experiment with vocal improvisation which reinforced our focus on nurturing creativity, curiosity and student-driven inquiry! The level of student engagement was so high – non one was ready to stop even after 75 minutes of intense learning – that’s because it was so much fun!!!  Each child walked away a little bit taller – thank you!”

 “Thank you very much for sharing your time and talents with the students at Krejci Academy.  What you have done reaches far beyond teaching our students about jazz and vocal improvisation.  You have allowed our students to gain confidence in expressing themselves and foster socialization skills through peer interaction using music.  For me, this experience has solidified my passion for music education and the powerful effect it has on all students. I look forward to working with you again in the future and making wonderful musical memories together.”

  • Erin Setchell, Music Instructor, Krejci Academy, Little Friends

 
 

 “We had hoped that our students would enjoy the experience.  We didn’t expect that an hour session would stretch to nearly 90 minutes, and that students would be raising their hands asking if they could sing and be a part of the rehearsal.  To those of us in the audience watching this unfold, the impact that the music had on our students was incredible.”

  • Mike Briggs, CEO, Little Friends

 
 

 “Thank you so much for hosting workshops at the Granada. My students and clients loved it and have talked about it nonstop. They were absolutely thrilled to have the chance to sing on stage with a microphone, and many of them quickly dropped their shyness or hesitancy to speak or sing when encouraged by Janice and her gentle voice. Jack and Janice demonstrated great empathy and care in working with my crew and left them all feeling like competent and confident jazz singers by the end of each session.”

  • Katie Just, Board-Certified Music Therapist, Flint Hills Music

 
 

“Watching Jack and Janice work with special needs children in Emporia, Kansas was truly inspiring. What a great experience for them, and the looks on their faces and reactions to the music proved this event to be a huge success.”
