My 3 and 1/2 year-old daughter absolutely loves the Musikgarten Preschool Class. Michael Barrette has found a perfect balance of channeling preschoolers' natural energy, while focusing their attention on learning rhythms and musical patterns. He has an uncanny way of knowing just how to direct each class, paying close attention to what the kids need on any given day. Both my daughter and son look forward to the Family Class, which provides them with an environment where they can explore music and express themselves in a mixed-ages setting. The kids end up learning about music in a way that's organic and playful.
Dana Silber:
My son, AJ, is enrolled in the Musikgarten class for toddlers and loves it. We are both learning so much while having fun at the same time. Michael does a great job in teaching the kids about music through dance, listening and instrument and song participation. My son is able to stay engaged for the 30 minutes because of Michael's ability to adapt his teachings to the ever changing moods of toddlers. The class also helps teach the kids basic skills of following direction through song and dance. My son is 20 months old and is able to fully participate through humming and clapping along with the older students who are a little bit more verbal. I highly recommend this class for you and your toddler, not only do they enjoy it, but you will too!!

Wunder Studios has proven to be a wonderful experience for my toddler and myself. Our one-year-old son entered the world of music timidly, yet he has grown markedly during his tenure with Michael Barrette. Now he sings aloud, taps to the rhythm, participates with the group actively and even takes risks and tries new things. Not only have I enjoyed watching my son shine, I have met many new friends along the way. What a terrific opportunity this has been! Thanks!

I highly recommend The Wunder Studios' Audition Workshop for any aspiring actor or actress. This intense program prepares students for the competitive world of auditions. Highly trained professionals give audition advice from improving voice range to developing memorable stage presence. The improvement in one short week is tremendous. The confidence level of the students soars. This program is especially helpful for students planning on auditioning at the area high schools. Students are taught what to expect at these competitive tryouts and are able to practice their monologues and songs with a supportive, experienced staff. Wunder Studios' programs will help your child have fun and learn to love the Arts.
Natalie DiValerio:
Every moment of the Wunder Studios workshop gave me an opportunity to learn something. I knew to begin each day ready to absorb as much as I could. The instructors were always supportive and interested in our progress. Everyone came from different backgrounds, with various levels of vocal experience, and we could all learn so much from one another. The environment couldn't have been more supportive to the needs of a vocalist, a musician, an artist, and a human being.
Ruth Dalenburg:
The blend of basic technique and advanced style was excellent. It was exciting to see people improve so dramatically in a few days.
Laura Fleming:
The most important thing I learned this week is SUPPORT! My breath support is something I have been really struggling with and I feel like this week I learned how to sing!
Liz Stratton :
I loved my experiences at the workshop. I've come away each time with new information and new ideas. This week allows you to really explore music, from the technique to the raw emotion. Each time I've attended the workshop, I have come away with a deeper understanding and passion for performance.
Regina DeMarco:
I can't say enough how Wunder Studios changed my outlook on singing and performing. The experiences can be summed up in the following, "Free your mind, free your body, free your voice." Each aspect of this workshop is geared to getting you "out of your comfort zone", trying new techniques and skills in a very supportive environment, and learning to re-create yourself as a performer. I really can't thank you enough. My singing has improved greatly from my experiences this summer. My new motivation has me learning new music faster, excited to explore the inner meanings and character of each piece, and practically bursting to show others the heart behind the music.
Jen Saltiel:
My experience with the Wunder Studios camp was the highlight of my summer. I went expecting to learn how to "sing better", but I got much more out of it. I learned how to unlock my emotions and express them through my performance. It taught me to make each minute onstage the best performance I could give. By the end of the week, you believe you sing well and you possess the strength to perform with stage presence and a great faith in yourself. It was the best feeling to watch everyone grow in the five days we shared together. We all started shy and by the end of the week, not only had our sound opened up, but our hearts had too. I would recommend this camp to anyone and I will definitely be returning next year!
Jenna Demitropoulos:
Wunder Studios was an excellent experience for me. I've grown to be a better performer as well as a singer. I didn't only learn how to sing better but to become a better performer, know what my body does and how to treat myself. Motivation was the key to this process, and we got plenty of it and I just want to say thank you to everyone at Wunder Studios for the greatest experience!!
Laura Saylor:
This workshop is the best tool I have used to develop my voice and make me an all around
better performer. By the end of the week I felt like I had totally transformed on stage. I definitely wasn't the same performer as I was going into it.
Rosalie Inendino:
I couldn't believe that my voice could change so much in one week! The final concert was so much fun because I was able to show off my "new" voice to family and friends. The Summer Vocal Performance Workshop was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I learned so much and had a great time doing it!!
Carolyn Stopka:
The professionals provided support,
instruction and guidance, which was on point, honest and constructive.
The whole experience can be beneficial
to the beginning, intermediate, or even advanced, vocalist. I recommend
this workshop with confidence.
