The Blue Shoe Project provides meaningful experiences for our students to foster their understanding and appreciation for the heritage of Blues music. David Stevens, Director of Fine Arts, Keller ISD, Keller, Texas
Wow! Right away, you had their attention! There was a great balance between academic and music content! Letting the kids absorb the feeling of the chords and blues style, is something that would be very hard for me to teach a child. Julie Phillips – Music Specialist, Longs Creek Elementary, San Antonio, Texas
The whole school is buzzing about your performances. It was so wonderful to hear them talk about all the TEKS you covered! Teachers who really dislike giving up instruction time were happy you came today – that’s a big deal. Anne Tracy – Music Specialist, Puster Elementary, Fairview, Texas
Michael did an outstanding job of ‘reading’ his audience and pacing the presentation. Our students and teachers had rave reviews. Well worth the money! Angela Leonhardt – Music Specialist, Bulverde Creek Elementary, San Antonio, Texas
As a former Young Audiences director, former music teacher, and musician, as well as someone with a music degree…. I loved it! Sally Andrews – Director of Community Relations, Vidor, Texas
His attention to the special needs children was awesome. I loved the program! Angela Neal – Music Specialist, A.C. Williams Elementary, Commerce, Texas
My students are deaf. They seemed to really enjoy the program, which is not always true of music performances! Heather Wood – Special Education Instructor, Stonewall Jackson Elementary, Dallas, Texas
Teachers did not mind giving up the instructional time because the program was full of social studies curriculum! Understanding this magical genre of music is EQUAL to learning American history! The level of student participation during the program was HIGH! So many times, kids are asked to just sit and watch a presentation. This was NOT the case. Julie Buelle – Music Specialist, Stonewall Jackson Elementary, Dallas, Texas
The musicianship was outstanding! One of the best programs I have seen!  Harriet Turnbull – Music Specialist, Hunt Elementary, Plano, Texas
