Upward Bound
Thaddeus Washington ran a 6-week Mind Music Workshop for our UToledo Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math Science high school students, and he was outstanding. Winning over high school students isn't easy—they were hesitant at first, but Thaddeus completely won them over. By the end of the workshop, they didn't want the program to end! His ability to connect with youth and build real engagement is unmatched. We’d welcome him back in a heartbeat!

TRIO SSS
Mind Music brought such an uplifting energy to the Trio SSS event! Their session was all about showing how music can calm the mind and refresh the spirit, and it really resonated with the students.
You could see right away how engaged everyone was—students were not only listening but also participating with genuine enthusiasm.
What stood out most was the way Mind Music created such a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. They didn’t just talk about music’s impact, they demonstrated it in a way that made students feel the difference in the moment.
The feedback afterward was nothing but positive, with many students saying they felt more focused and relaxed.
MLK Academy for Boys
I am writing to offer my strong recommendation for Thaddeus Washington with his Mind Musicprogram and the positive impact it has had on our students at Martin Luther King Jr. Academy for Boys. As educators, we are always seeking meaningful programs that support not only academic growth but also the social and emotional development of our students. Mind Music hasproven to be a powerful tool in helping our young men develop mindfulness, improve peer interactions, and strengthen their ability to regulate their behavior.
