TESTIMONIALS
“I cannot recommend this experience enough. Anne is a professional who knows how to work a room even a virtual one! She was able to bring the songwriting experience together in a team fashion with almost 20 people. Anne provides an unforgettable experience.
-Teddy from CrowdStrike”
“Anne’s method opens up a world of possibilities for cultural exchange. Instead of just performing for an audience, Anne engages with them to help them discover something new and original.
-Jay, Foreign Service Officer for U.S. Department of State”
“I was impressed at Anne’s ability to manage a group of individuals into creating a unique original piece of music. She expertly nudged us into participation, managed expectations, willingly accepted every suggestion as positive, even if she wound up not using everything, or changing what was used later. It was a very refreshing experience to participate in co-writing a song with a number of colleagues, and to walk away with a little background on the mechanics of how to write a modern song. This is a unique experience that anyone, whether musical or not, can participate in fully and feel like they’ve learned something and at the same time created something beautiful.
-Peter from Salesforce
