Testimonials

We recently had Brent do an assembly for us at Benjamin Franklin School in Meriden, CT. I am writing to tell you how much our students and staff enjoyed the show. Brent was AWESOME! He had the students grooving to his beats the whole time, I don't think there was one second where students weren't engaged in what he was saying or doing. Thank you for such a fabulous performer.

Wow! Brent Daniels came to our school today in Fenton, Michigan. Captivating 5 year olds for 1 hour can be difficult to do. Brent had no problems doing so, reaching a diverse age group. I think the teachers enjoyed it as much as the students. He is an amazing musician, hats off to you, Brent!

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that Brent did a fantastic job with our two assemblies this morning. As I shared with the 8th graders after seeing the 7th grade assembly, Brent's show was the best assembly I've observed in 22 years as an educator.

What a unique individual - has the musician look, is very articulate with a super sense of humor that allowed him to build instant rapport with our kids, shares a tremendous educational message that is an ideal culmination to his performance, and is remarkably gifted at what he does with the musical technology he demonstrates. He was the total package and I'm thrilled with his work with us.

This was Cottage Hill's first experience with both Academic Entertainment and Brent Daniels. Brent was absolutely a hit with our students. He opened a whole new world for them which links two of their favorite things - music and computers. He was articulate, appropriate, and relevant. It was particularly interesting to me that he not only stated that his own education and parents' encouragement got him to where he is today, but he connected his abilities with specific classes he had taken in his academic years. He was the talk of the campus for the remainder of the day! We look forward to welcoming him back in the future. Thank you for making him available for us!
