"Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played for our daughter's wedding.
Elizabeth was so pleased with it! Many people told me that it was so pretty. Our nephew from Boulder Colorado who ushered at the event and is himself a musician, said he was so impressed by you and said he wished he could have had time to speak with you. He loved how you put it all together. Thank you again. You made our day so special! "

"The music you provided for our wedding ceremony was truly perfect. Thank you for taking my vision and turning it into a reality. You took the time to meet with us, learn about us, and create music that was fit for us. More than just the songs, the organization & cues at both the rehearsal and wedding, helped our day run smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better performance! "

What amazing talent!!!!! Blown away at the last concert.

We are taking private dance lessons to learn how to swing dance. We just love Ambi who is talented, kind and patient. We love our classes and we love Ambi!

I love attending and witnessing the progress of not only my grandchildren but all the children.

The events are always very entertaining!

I had the privilege of working with Jovita Bernard and James McNeil from The Academy of Performing and Creative Arts on my project Rooted; The Journey from Soil, Seed to Fruit. Both Jovita and James possessed a quality blend of professionalism, sincerity, and passion for their work. Together, they flawlessly and effortlessly executed Lift Every Voice & Sing and Glory, by way of six students; two of which were 10 years-old to a well-received crowd! Partnering with Jovita and James, and their understanding of our vision for this event, superseded our expectations! Jovita and James produced great results and maintained a high level of competence and integrity throughout the event. They knew their positions well and displayed great pride in their craft!
