Quotes from Students after hitz academy clinics:

  • “I learned that being a good musician means more than playing well, and that to excel in my instrument, I need to have an open mind, determination, and faith in myself.”

  • “I liked how he was explaining and giving information on motivation and how to never give up. It was relatable and I enjoyed it.”

  • “I learned that you don't need to have a fancy background to be good at a specific thing.”

“Our Breathing Gym session with Andrew was a paradigm shift in our season. All of a sudden the students started executing to a new level - both in concert and in marching band. Not only did they have an incredible rehearsal, but they have continued to apply the skills they learned every day in the classroom.”
— Kathleen Jacoby, Director of Bands at Herndon High School
