QUOTES FROM TEACHERS AND ARTISTS:

"...Emiliano Benevides is an excellent percussionist and on top of that, a great teacher!!! Often traditional teachers are not the easiest to learn from but he understands our minds, breaks it down very nicely and is very sweet and patient."
- Layne Redmond(Author, recording artist, and Frame Drummer Legend)

"Emiliano Benevides brings the excitement of his native Brazil into the classroom setting and immediately grabs the children’s attention with his enthusiasm and his wit. His mastery of a multitude of percussion instruments and his extraordinary showmanship provide all participants – young and old alike – the opportunity to sing, dance and play with ease and utter joy. Emiliano is a remarkable performer and a true inspiration, and it is a pleasure to work with someone who truly lives and breathes his art.”
