A parent can only hope and pray that the people and activities in their children's lives will be rewarding and make them happy... thank you so very much for all the years of music at Kutandara Center.
- Melinda Evans, Shamwari parent

Thank you for all that you do for Luke in teaching him marimba and helping to instill a love of music in him!
- Jeff Davies, Shamwari parent

When we see Kutandara Center directors and instructors with our kids, we are so happy. It is easy to tell that they like the kids, are proud of them and want to engage with them. They provide a healthy environment for kids to grow and they model good relationships with one another and each kid. We can tell that the kids feel like they are special and part of a unique community.
- Julie Waldner, youth student parent
