"Sean Nowell is a music instructor with great integrity, enthusiasm and vision. His passion for both music and teaching are apparent in every lesson. As non-musicians, we were most impressed with the time and care he took with our son explaining how to get the best out of his instrument including care and maintenance. Most importantly, Sean provided the necessary inspiration to help our son move beyond seeing himself as just playing in a school band to a confident musician who looks forward to pursuing a career in music.

"‘Coach Edgar has been our son’s baseball coach for over 5 years. In that time, we have seen our son improve as a ball player, but more importantly learn lessons about perseverance , effort , confidence “and being a good teammate . Coach has taught him the fundamentals in baseball and helped teach him valuable lessons about life. As a parent when your kid might get to the point that he may be tuning you out a bit, it is important to have other role models outside the home to support our efforts. We were lucky that we found a great one in Coach Edgar! Thanks Coach ! ‘
