Northeastern Family Institute

(Dorchester, MA)

Comments from residents of the Northeastern Family Institute (lock up facility for delinquent girls) following a three-visit residency by Sarasa (September 2005).

Your music is full of wonderful sounds
You music was fun to sing in rounds
You guys are great you deserve the best
You guys put my courage to the test.
I appreciate you and I send my thanks
I hope you return next time with music filled in tanks
Good bye farewell until next time
The memories you left me are forever mine.
Yours truly, Jaiyda

There are many things that I learned from the music group. I learned how to bring our my voice without being scared. I also learned many new music tips for when I become a singer. They taught me a lot of new things. They taught me how to play the piano and taught me breathing techniques for when I get out. Because someday hopefully I will make it in the singing career. They also taught me to believe. Believe that someday I will make it and to never be afraid to get up in front of many people and sing. They even told me that one day in life I will make it only if I believe in the things that you mever thought could be true but those music people told me different. I hope one day that I wil become the singer that I want I just need to learn to have self-control and learn to make the right choices if I want to get that far...

I am trying to get the treatment that I need so when I get out I can go to school and become a singer. They played some old and new music that I have never heard of that's why I was interested and me wanting to become a singer also got me interested in learning and listening from them. One day I pray to god everynight that I will be a singer. I believe I can do it. I realize I have better things to lice for and I promise myself when I get out I am going to do the right thing. - Khandee
