Review:

Trombone lesson with Calvin

My son really enjoyed his lesson with Calvin! He came to our house on time and was very organized so there was no waste of time. He brought his own trombone and they played together, which was cool. Calvin was very respectful, encouraging and knowledgeable. Kelley Rudd wrote on Tue, 17 Jul 2018
