With the opportunity to be included in a theatrical musical production, my son has cultivated self-awareness, self-confidence, positive self-image, and accountability, which has been super exciting to watch. Witnessing his transformation has been magical and more than we expected and much more than could have been asked for.

Mr. D's Music Club's summer camp was the highlight of my son's year. We even went to Fiji over the summer, and he said Mr. D's was better than Fiji! Haha. We are excited to check out the enrichment program during the school year and keep the fun going!

Mr. D's Music Club is a real gem! Our daughter has attended several sessions & always comes home with a big smile on her face & humming new songs. The vibe of the camp is so sweet & inclusive, embracing imperfection, encouraging kids of all backgrounds & abilities, and allowing them all to shine in lovely, silly fun. They all beam at their end of week performance, cheer on their cohorts, and you can tell it's been a week to remember. We've enjoyed it so much, that we've decided to try out the after-school program as well. Highly recommend!
