Mr. Bosco is one of the nicest music teachers I have ever met. He has helped me tremendously while preparing to major in music education at UCONN this upcoming fall. He understands the students and their needs while giving the best education possible. I would reccomend Mr. Bosco to anyone looking for a music instructor.
