“I would like to thank you and your teaching staff for making my grandson’s introduction to music education a great success! The instructors that you chose were perfect and the week was a revelation about music appreciation!” – Anita H.
“Just worth noting for the record again, that Blue Bear School of Music is a San Francisco treasure, and I would argue a treasure of the State of California and the world. I’m hoping this helps the school raise its visibility as a place where kids get the best education in how to make music. Thanks for taking the lead on this!” – James W., All Star parent
