Alice Tsui
NYC Music Educator

"Edward Hardy is an extremely talented, passionate, and unique musician. Edward spoke to my elementary school music strings students on his musical beginnings, the impact of music on his life, and personal anecdotes and advice - all of which were insightful, thoughtful responses to questions my students had about his life experiences! Thank you so much for sharing yourself wholeheartedly in your music making and your words - you are an inspiration in the music world! I cannot wait for my students to hear Edward again in the future and potentially collaborate on music making!"

T'keyah Robinson
Public School Teacher

"Edward visited the 7th-grade strings class at my school, the Urban Assembly School for Applied Math & Science, to play an original piece and host a Q&A with our students. His visit resulted in increased excitement about playing the violin. Students were eager to improve their posture, learn more about how they can "get as good" as Edward. We especially appreciated his visit because his original piece incorporated elements that were easily recognizable by students due to their cultural relevance. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with Edward again and introduce him to a new cohort of students."
