I attended the PLC String Soiree last night and just wanted to congratulate you on the the quality of work from your studio. Your students were so very well prepared and most of all, I loved listening to and watching the engagement with the works they were playing.
Thanks for looking after me so well, and I was so impressed with your work, dedication and musicianship!!
Your students are all so well prepared and set up behind their instruments but the fact that their musical understanding is clearly a priority speaks volumes for what you must be teaching them.
I can’t thank you enough for all the time, care and attention you put into my visit. I so much enjoyed hearing your students. You are a very gifted teacher with a vocation for bringing music to children and what you are achieving is really wonderful.
Your teaching skills and insistence on high standards saw a marked improvement in your students’ performances. Thank you for ‘raising the bar’.
Thanks for everything you do to make this whole experience so much more than just learning how to play for Laura and I. I really feel blessed to be a part of it all.
