"...You had a way of managing ... his attempts to deflect serious engagement by silliness... and calibrating the degree of toughness to the occasion... we are (and will continue to be) very grateful for the good beginning you gave both of them.  You will always remain their first violin teacher.  Thanks again..."

"Hi Jenny- I wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you. [Our daughter] is taking private voice lessons through [her college] and yesterday she asked me why all private music teachers aren't as good as you. ... She is also playing violin for our church and the music director there just loves her and her abilities. The violin really adds a lot to the music."

-Mom of a former violin & viola student, 2018
"Thank you for another wonderful year of learning music. We look forward to many more years of playing... Thank you for teaching [our daughter] how to play violin and ... to love music. The violin has brought out such good qualities in her and is helping her to grow as a person."
