PARENT:
"Our daughter struggles with school anxiety - music is her freedom, her joy and this is what you have given her; inside and outside of school."
PARENT:
"We've had some lovely rendition of Harry Potter and Jurassic Park! It's increased his motor skills greatly, to the point where even his driving instructor asked him if he plays an instrument as his co-ordination was so good!"
PARENT:
"Great service. We have had fantastic tutors over the years. Tutors have confirmed with me my expectations as a parent - I have said its for my son to enjoy and take part, exams/grades would be a bonus but not important unless he wants to, this has meant he has kept going and enjoying it. He trusts and gets on with the tutors."
PARENT:
"Your staff are your greatest asset. Every one of them has been kind, enthusiastic, talented and professional. Thank you!"
PARENT:
"I'm extremely happy with my son's experience of TVYO. We live in Newcastle and accept the travel to Teesside for all of the musical and social benefits he gets. Belonging to TVYO has played a large part in my son's decision to pursue music as a career. It's been a fantastic experience for him."
