"Mr. Herod,
You have helped to create a love of music in both of my kids. Your style of
teaching is light, friendly, and patient. You helped my daughter to feel at
ease. She still plays piano, guitar and drums and is writing her own music. She
is 14 now and entering High School, but still takes time to practice. "
- Thank you and best wishes, Kristi Bains

Laurie Wilcher
Carl the Music Man,
Thank you so much for teaching Dakota drums. He got his first drum set in the
5th grade, but when he started taking lessons about a year ago he started having
a real passion for them. He has gone from making noise to making enjoyable
music. I credit you for this! He has since gotten new drums and now thinks he
needs professional quality accessories and equipment. Thanks again for helping
Dakota continue on his way to reaching his full potential and desire for
learning all he can. By the way, I love being able to hear Dakota and the
other kids on the web site! Extremely cool!
Tracey Cryer
"Thank you so much for sharing your talents with me. I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons in voice and guitar. You have helped me increase my range in voice to a point I never thought I could achieve.
Mr. Herod, you make it all look so simple. You are an incredible teacher who makes learning fun. As you know, I?ve been singing at small town oprys for a year and I am having the time of my life. I am currently competing in the 2007 KXII Showcase Showdown. I won my first preliminary contest and am very excited about the finals in August. With your instructions I can now hit some of those low and high notes.
Thanks again Mr. Herod for helping me achieve my dream.
You are awesome!"
