Teaching Artist Review
It was great having you visit with us here at the Marion County Juvenile Detention Center. The residents felt as if you were very down to earth. You were so gracious to let some of our residents hold and attempt to play your violin. Some of them had never held a instrument before. -Chanel Parker, Program Supervisor
