Caz Testimonials

"Cazadero offers children a chance to grow on many levels. One thing music teaches us is that everyone has to work to be their best individually, then work to be the best that they can as part of a group. Whether or not you continue in music after high school or college, those qualities - leadership, teamwork, self discipline, learning to give and take, compromise - all those skills are skills learned through music."

Jim Mazzaferro, Camp Director
