"I am not sure we have partnered with a better company than Musical IQ. They are outstanding to work with, extremely organized and go above and beyond to meet our needs. We currently offer their programs to all 12 of our sites. I highly recommend hiring this company as a vendor."

Mandy Crest | New York, District 12, Principal

"The facilitator was great! Every student was engaged and banging away! What a delight to see them so engaged and excited! Even the teachers were enjoying it. I loved it...couldn't stop moving to the beat."

Pam Salteean | PS163x

"Musical IQ will ignite your inner possibilities, and bring out the musician in everyone’s hearts! The event was invigorating. Both parents and children loved the atmosphere the instructor provided. They were engaged and intrigued, taking home knowledge that they can share or revisit with love ones. I myself, felt like a big kid! The Bronx YMCA, thanks Musical IQ for such an awesome experience."
