"Giving the kids exposure to the level of professionals that ASMAC brings, and in a friendly, but no nonsense way, has opened their eyes to so much more of what it means to be in the music industry and be a professional. The collaboration gives the young composers a much more concrete view of the music industry, which allows them to make more informed decisions and choices with their own pursuit of music, not to mention establish early connections in the industry."

​

-- Ruby Pan, Inception Past Board Member/Parent Rep

"The incredible ASMAC workshops (i.e. Gordon Goodwin, Paul Riser) our kids get to participate in, as well as the Saturday Inception sessions ASMAC mentors are just above and beyond and great inspirations for the composers." 

​

-- Liz Anderson, Board Member/Parent Rep
