The Chrisman Violin Studio played for the Funtastics, a social group for autistic adults.  We played duets, ensemble pieces and Suzuki songs.  They were such a great audience and enjoyed our music.  Afterwards, several caretakers (family members) thanked me whole heartedly for providing the program, some with even teary eyes of appreciation.  These caretakers work tirelessly and were so appreciative that we came to enrich their loved ones’ lives.  It was a meaningful moment that could not be traded for anything.  This is what music can do!
