Testimonials and comments from Guest panelists, Alumni, University professors & YouTube channel viewers

“I just listened to your physically distanced conversation with Nathan, Billy, Gregg, Darryl, Carmine, and Paul from over a year ago.
What an incredible gift you and your guests have given to all of us. The love and respect I experienced in that hour touched my soul. I am always so very humbled and moved by you and your guests, but what a great time to be alive. We can now listen to and see artists that have inspired us, talk about who inspired them, any time we want!
THANK YOU!
I plan to share the thoughts, ideas, and wisdom from that interview with my 10 year old son Erik as soon as we can sit down and have a coke, and……LISTEN!!!
What an empowering gift you and your colleagues at the Panel are to the willing world. We, your audience can be your force multiplier, your leverage to help make the world an even better place for all of us.
With Gratitude, and forever listening, Mark Hansen

“Great great, stories. Such humble, hard working, inspiring and beautiful human beings. Thank you 🙏for making these videos. I haven’t heard of many of the musicians, who you have interviewed, so I thank you for opening my ears, my eyes and my mind. You have reawakened my love of music and I am really enjoying researching the history of music again. Love, Light and Peace to you and all of the wonderful musicians of the world who make this world 🌎 a better place. Namaste 🙏

The Sessions is a remarkable undertaking that provides years of experience, wisdom and know-how to anyone wanting to forge their lives in the music business. Attendees learn not only from the successes of the expert panel, but also from the mistakes we have all made trying to “make it.” The candor and the inspiration on display was as impressive to me as it was to all of those attending the “Sessions” in Dallas. I look forward to repeating the experience, and I can recommend it to anyone.”
Peter Erskine, Drummer, USC Professor and Educator

The Sessions events are an amazing time of information sharing. I’ve learned a tremendous amount being a part of them! It would have been so helpful to me in my developmental years. Jules and her team have created an an invaluable resource for students of this business.”
Russ Miller, Drummer for American Idol, Andrea Bocelli, Multi-Platinum Recording Artist

“It was a privilege to be part of the L.A. Sessions.  As an experienced educational musician….I heartily endorse the approach and quality of these beneficial occasions.  They are the real deal.  Thank you for the opportunity of membership in this fine group.”
Ed Shaughnessy, Drummer for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson

“Hi Dom, I really love your interviews. You just radiate such positivity, and the interchanges are always so relaxed, honest & informative. I watch them almost daily as I pedal on my stationary bike. The one with Laboriel really touched my heart. I actually watched it twice. More than how we play, it focuses on why we play, and why from time to time, the music plays us. I also love watching you because your upbeat conversational style reminds me of a late friend that I used to play with. I just wanted to thank you for what you’re doing and wish you all the best.” Most cordially, Joe.

“The Sessions are great learning examples of the real music business, featuring so many important areas of the biz explained by the experts in each area of the business!!”
Hal Blaine, Legend drummer (6000+ recorded songs, Wrecking Crew)

“Thank you for the wonderful opportunity The Sessions offered the HACC community, recently. We are very appreciative of your generosity in funding, organizing and willingness to come to our Harrisburg campus and present this unique event to our students. In fact, I heard numerous students tell me and others how inspired they were by the abundance of talent, professional expertise, and outstanding musical skills that your panelists brought to this very distinct event.

Our music industry students, staff and alumni all benefitted from this opportunity to learn more about the music and entertainment business. In addition, I was greatly impressed by those panelists whose home’s stood in the possible path of Hurricane Irma and the flooding preparations that were taking place as they stayed and conducted themselves in such a professional manner. Needless to say, there are no words to express our gratitude for their time and commitment to this event during what would seem to be a very stressful time for them and their families.

Again, know your presence and activities truly inspired the next generation of music and entertainment professionals in Central Pennsylvania and beyond.”
John J. Sygielski, Ed.D., President HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College and Carol Knisely, Assistant Professor HACC, Music Business

This channel is excellent, the presenter is genuinely enthusiastic & interested in whomever he is interviewing. He listens & asks relevant questions to keep the interview moving along. I love listening to the musicians talking about their craft just as much as listening to their music. Top stuff. Thanks for uploading!” Youtube viewer

“To be honest, we loved everything about The Sessions! The only thing we might wish is that it was longer because there is so much to cover! We learned a lot! Having an opportunity to jam with legendary artists was amazing. The presentation on entertainment law was very memorable and helpful. I wouldn’t cut short a minute of the artists and experts presentations – they were fascinating and inspiring. It was just simply an amazing experience that we will remember forever. Thanks to everyone who made this possible and participated in making this possible! You guys are awesome!”
The White Ravens, Max Fisher Theater in Detroit

“You have changed my life completely. I have always wanted to hear straight talk about the business/legal side of things (I have some rather unique and lofty plans for my musical career). You have given me an incredible set of tools to begin building that vision and the inspiration to know that I am not out of my head for thinking that my dream is a real possibility. Thank you.”
Sean Mitchell at The Collective NYC

“What a powerful presentation. Thanks to all involved.”
Donn Garrett at EMP Museum in Seattle
