" Sevylla has a gift for engaging children and bringing out the best in them regardless of their challenges."
Sarah Averill

" Sevylla has a generosity of spirit as an educator that is rare and her commitment to music and its value as a force for social change is inspiring."
Amy Gerhauser

St. Edward's University
"I enjoyed watching you captivate and involve the entire group of 8th-12th graders and all their staff- easily 45+ people in all. Your skill with managing diverse ages and musical ability/confidence is remarkable and engaging. I think you've started a new tradition at El Ranchito."
Terry Siegenthaler
Executive Director
Camp El Ranchito
"Sevylla...is a tremendous positive force at J. Houston Elementary."
Bob Heidkamp
Teacher
J. Houston Elementary
"Sevylla understands how to translate her work to reach learners of all ages. Young people in Sevylla's classes not only get to experience drumming but they also learn to work collaboratively, to follow directions, to feel successful, and to better understand rhythms..."
Katie Dawson
Adjunct Professor
Imagine Safer Schools, Program Coordinator
Unviersity of Texas at Austin
"We are a program serving children with language and learning delays [...]. For students with difficulty in coordination, timing, fine and gross motor exercises, our kids thrived. Creativity, discipline, and exploration with new instruments were the grounding forces behind her well defined weekly classes. Neurologically, it was tapping resources we knew would carry over. It is with great appreciation that we end this year with a teacher who inherently understands the value of mind, body and heart "work" and raised the bar for everyone along the way."
Rena Sehlke
Co-creator
The Maverick School
"I was especially surprised at how well the children listened and the amount of participation Sevylla was able to get out of children ranging in ages from 3 to 12. The hands-on concept of this program makes it amazingly engaging."
