Letters from the Letters from the Brighton Treatment Center (MA) teenage male delinquent lockup

TO: The Music People
To me the people that came here to play music for us were very good as far as skill and inspiration goes.
My actual favorite was the lady that played the violin. There was just something so beautiful about the way she played. The melodies she played enabled me to see all sorts of images in my mind's eye. To me the violin is a difficult instrument. So I respect anyone that even comes close to playing it well, and in my eyes she is an expert. I would like to learn more about the instrument, and hopefully she could be my teacher and put me to the test. I would like to like to thank her for enlightening me.

the positive thing that I know is that they play some music instrument for the whole unit that was here and that it was good and it made me sleepy but I still stay awake and listen to the music they were great and I like how they play it fast and calm and they know it by heart or something.

The music made me feel positive and good about myself and good to my peers around me. It made me think about things I did to people that hurt them very bad that regret

I want to thank you for coming and showing us y'all talent. My favorite part was when the lady on the keyboard was playing I liked how she played and I think all of y'all did great and I want to say thank you for coming.

yesterday it was all right im not really into classical music But it was nice hearing something new for a change and at the end they were letting people play the instruments and stuff but I like listen to it and hearing them play.

The concert was kind of boring. Classical Music is not My kind of Music but theyre good at what they do. They like it and seriously get down to it. When they started to make the beats some of it was actually hot. I couldn't play the violin chello or piano so their little concert made me earn a little more respect for instrumentalists and classical music. When they were making music to people freestyling and Ruel making beats wit hhis mouth it was nasty. They got mad skills and if I had as much skills as them in things im interested in I'de be out of trouble and in better shape wit my life.

I wonna thank you for coming and blessing us with that beautiful classical music. Me as a music lover respect it and every aspect of it. Exspicially da keyboard which is one of my favorite instrument.
When I was listening to it I love the way the music send me to different places and time to war and back it was better than thinking about where we was at you know
Thank you

To Sarasa music group,
I would first like to thank you for coming and visiting B.T.C. Normally I am not the type for your music, no offense, but in here it made me feel very peaceful and calm which helped me through another day. It really put me in a positive spirit which was what I really needed. I hope you continue to help kids to feel a little better while doing their time at a D.Y.S. Facility like you did for me. Thanks again.

Dear Tim,

On behalf of all the residents and staff at Brighton Treatment Center, I would like to thank you for taking the time to come to our program. Everyone greatly enjoyed your performance of selections from Schubert. For many residents this was their first time hearing classical music; your presentation has opened their eyes to a whole new world of music.
Again, thanks you for your time and artistry.

Sincerely,
Joshua Grant
Program Director
