I would like to thank SG Enable and Music Solutions Academy for their kind support — especially Ms Joy, Adeline and supportive staff like Nicholas, Lenny and Celina. I hope Build Bridges and its message of inclusivity continues to travel beyond this celebration.

Teacher Kenneth is a good teacher. He makes an effort to explain his points in an explicit manner so that we can understand.

Thank you Joy for these amazing four sessions, where you packed in so much valuable information — so helpful not just in playing, but in truly understanding worship keyboard. I am excited to pass on the knowledge and skills to my kids, and prayerfully someday they can serve God and His people.

Congratulations on an excellent place for people with disabilities to learn new skills. MS Academy has dedicated staff and musicians who are patient and have a sound understanding of people with disabilities, especially those with neurodivergence — autism, ADHD and more. They provide a safe space to learn new skills and offer opportunities to perform and play music together — something that would otherwise be impossible to find elsewhere. I highly recommend their Project InteGr8 Vocational Training Programme on learning how to fix and repair musical instruments such as guitar, drum, violin and piano, as well as all their other courses.

I found today's group lesson quite amazing. It brought back memories of my teenage years, and it gave me my very first opportunity in life to learn the guitar alongside other individuals who have different abilities than me. Today's session clearly shows that music transcends people of all backgrounds.

Thanks again to MS Academy for organising this songwriting competition. Oliver really had a wonderful experience taking part. Amidst the stress of his O-levels, it was so nice to see his resilience and the joy he found in the process. What touched my husband and me most was when he wrote his own bio and started by saying that he has autism — something he usually prefers not to share. It was such a meaningful step for him and we are very proud of that. He learned so much from this experience. Thank you for creating such an encouraging platform for the participants.

I'm thankful to have been given the opportunity to attend this course and learn from Joy. She has been really encouraging and supportive in equipping us with the relevant musical knowledge and techniques — and most importantly reminding us to focus on our hearts' posture towards God.
