Testimonials/Participant Endorsements 
“It took me about five minutes to realize your Folk/Rock class would be nothing but 100% awesome!  Thanks for your wonderfully infectious energy and your great teaching.  I came into the class not knowing the difference between melody and harmony, and not really having sung since I was 12.  You created an environment that had me enthusiastically singing my heart out on stage.  Thank you for that amazing gift.  You completely rock!” – Jeff, Class Participant

“The rock band I’m in is nowhere near as fun as this class was!  I’m excited to go home with my new rock attitude.  I’m always a product of my environment and I love being around people like you.  You make me and everyone else feel great!  Thank you so much, I needed a dose of that!” – Marcus, Class Participant

“I’m quite sure that I’ve never had an instructor in anything, anywhere, with as much enthusiasm and energy as you have.  It’s so easy for me to fall into working on guitar and forgetting to have fun.  More than anything else, you reminded me what this (playing and singing) is all about.  Thank you so much!” – Chris, Class Participant

“Cara Luft was FANTASTIC!  I had the great pleasure of being a student in her folk rock ensemble class and it was the most musical fun I have had in a long long time.  She has a great way of incorporating learning, both technical musical skills and performance skills, into the class activities without it being onerous.   She was also very good at ensuring the entire class was engaged.  If one should be so lucky as to have a musician such as Cara as part of an event or learning opportunity, they would be foolish not to snap her up!” – Sheri Brake, Instructor Liaison, Foothills Acoustic Music Institute

“Cara led our group through a number of activities that stimulated the creative writing process in a way that was engaging and practical. It didn’t matter what experience in song-crafting people came to the workshop with, or what their motivation for being there was, Cara made everyone feel welcome. She encouraged participation and sharing in a way that let each person commit according to his or her comfort zone, but equally challenged each one to take a risk in either creating material, discovering new means to aid the process, or performing in front of a group. We saw music as an art-form from start to finish during the course of one day: from theories of writing, to practical tools, to collaboration, to shaping a song, to performance. And we laughed the whole way through! What a super way to spend a day immersed in music, no matter what your level of mastery in song writing may be.” – Katy Lucas-Buckland, Workshop Participant
