"The nine years of lessons, recitals, bands, and performance opportunities my son has participated in at WMCA have opened amazing musical and creative doors for him, culminating with his acceptance and scholarship to a top college program for jazz studies. Even more importantly, WMCA and Dave Murphy have provided both my son and daughter with a community of friends, a place to call home, and a wealth of life lessons in everything from discipline and hard work to the joy of creating together, learning together, and laughing together—all while making incredible music together."  -KG
