★★★★★Todd DAn experience every child should have! Gaining confidence with hard work will last a lifetime.
★★★★★Dave HowardWe love the Leopards! They have great summer camp programs and the best teachers for year round programs too. Start with their camps, that’s how you get into the fall classes. Truly a gem of the Louisville arts/culture landscape!
★★★★★James CargillAwesome place. Went to watch my best friend's daughter's percussion class. The instructors were great with the kids and they have a LEGIT collection of percussion instruments for the students to practice with.
★★★★★Patrick CarricoWonderful community of music-loving instructors and children learning to use a wide variety of percussion instruments to recreate modern songs. A great way to introduce young ones to music from elementary age to high school.
★★★★★Amber Fox-YoungA one-of-a-kind children's youth ensemble serving the Louisville Community and beyond. To say it's been an honor for my child to take part and learn in this musical would be an understatement. They rock!!!
