“Thank you so much for a wonderful year of piano lessons. I had fun and learned a
lot!” ~ K.S.
“Thank you so much for helping me learn. At first, I couldn’t really sing well. Now I am
a really good singer; everyone says so. You have helped me sing beautifully. I learned
so much from you. You are the best. Thank you for believing in me.” ~ B.R.
“I wanted to congratulate you on the spectacular Holiday concert!!! I have never seen
such an organized and well-prepared holiday program in any other school. All the kids
seem to be singing on pitch and it was obvious that they had practiced a lot.
Congratulations. My husband and I were very impressed.” ~ M.M.
“You have no idea how much I have enjoyed our years of music. You have made me
feel special and happy. You have encouraged me and helped me make music
fun. You have developed my singing so much! I would love to have private lessons
with you.” ~ B.H.
“This year went very well with you because I did not have a strong voice in the
beginning of the year. My voice got better and better every time I went to music class. I
improved a lot! I just want to thank you so much for the hard work and effort you put
into trying to make my dream come true, being a professional singer.” ~ A.K.
“I want to let you know how much we appreciate all you have done to give our daughter
and all of the girls such a solid foundation in music. She is now taking private voice
lessons and her teacher is very impressed by how much she already knows! Your class
is one of the big highlights of her week.” ~ C.R.
“Thank you so much for being my music teacher! I really enjoyed performing in the
piano recitals. Thank you also for inspiring me to sing with joy and to always do my
best. I will always remember that. Music is my favorite subject and you are my favorite
teacher.” ~ A.W.
“I want to thank you for inspiring the spirit of music in my daughter. She is constantly
singing with a smile on her face. That they are the songs that I grew up with is a bonus
because we can sing together. Her enthusiasm is boundless.” ~ S.S.
“Thank you for being my music teacher. My voice gets prettier and prettier because of
you.” ~ A.H.

kick off our holidays.” ~ D.L.
“Thank you so much for working so hard to help us sing and sound perfect. You really
have the special touch when it comes to singing! It would have the sound of a broken

something new every class.” ~ K.S.

“We would love for my daughter to study with you as your background and passion for
teaching has left an indelible imprint on her.” ~ M.B.
