What a nice uplifting story. Time and again, our history, from centuries ago to the present covers topics that are on the sad side. We have a lot of great history as well, but it’s nice to read something now and then that makes you smile.
Amazing place! I have the pleasure of working with Raffi. He is an outstanding music teacher and has the patience of a saint. Bethany is so kind hearted like Raffi. Both have created a place that children can explore many elements of music all while having fun. My son Grayson was their first birthday party they hosted! He was turning 5 and we wanted something different. This was the perfect spot. All of his friends had a blast. Bethany and Raffi kept the kids engaged as well as the adults. I have recommended “The First Beat” to many families. 5 stars for sure!
