I want to take this opportunity to share my thoughts about the enrichment opportunities that are available through these special activities. Vanessa Joy, an amazing vocalist and master musician from Phoenix along with myself from Tallahassee, Florida change the course of students lives through our passion for music and experience as professionals as we share our thoughts and talents. We talk of our journeys from youth and recall our motivations and challenges toward our musical and life goals. Given we still have continuing goals and challenges, we site our accomplishments and what it took to get there. We perform and allow the students to experience the talents of seasoned professionals. The question and answer time allows us to intimately connect with them and occasionally invite someone from the audience to participate impromptu which is always an enormous hit. Our encouragement and positive reinforcement leaves all in attendance more prepared to face their goals, whether musical or not, with a renewed spirit of confidence and hope.

Class members, as well as faculty found the masters class riveting and extremely motivating. The question and answer time had to be extended to respect each students interest in their experience and knowledge. Marvin is a professional with emphasis on each individual student and their talent level as well as to the most proficient faculty. Vanessa captivated our senior vocal students with her vast scope of musical and vocal experiences. I can highly recommend Marvin Goldstein both as a professional entertainer and master class instructor as well as Vanessa Joy.

I truly thank you for coming to our tiny town to remind me why I fell in love with music in the first place. I truly appreciate it. You guys, help me realize that music is where I belong. Keep doing what you are doing because you are incredible. Thanks.
