“Thank you so much, Joe has become SO much more aware of performance now! It’s fascinating to listen to his comments as we watch television, i.e.: “I could do that, don’t you think, Joy?” I honestly don’t care what he chooses to do as long as he is happy and creatively fulfilled – and these first classes with you have opened him up to the possibility of that.”
