Audrey Cook, Student Empowered by the Golden Opportunity Fund
"So if I wanted to talk a little bit about WAI the way that it's impacted my life… a TON of my music career has been facilitated by WAI. I mean, I play on a horn that is loaned to my school by WAI, my private lesson teacher is funded through WAI - I've never had to pay a dime for any of my lessons, my trips to Carnegie Hall and to London have been financed by the fundraising solely thanks to WAI, and I've been connected to many great musicians out in the field thanks my contacts through WAI.”

"The little fixes especially are something that I can show my students how to do, so this is something that expands their knowledge base of what they can do in the future"

“The repair clinic helps me understand instrumental repair techniques better by diagnosing problems and situations in the classroom, making me a better teacher.”
Student who attended Tina Turner Voice Master-Class
"One thing I really liked about this masterclass is that it was very interactive and there was a very positive energy, everybody was so kind there and everybody was so accepting."
Michael Smith, Ft. Edward Music Teacher
"This clinic is gonna be a massive help for my band program, I have a ton of instruments that have over the years become in a state of disrepair. They are not able to be used. I already have learned a lot of tools to be able to get those instruments back in working order and back in the hands of my kids.”
