Testimonial
"In addition to being a superb musician, you are a dedicated teacher. You keenly observe the participants' needs, and offer them more confidence and unity, such as how to provide a simple, underlying pulse or a strong beat. Personally, it is a pleasure to work with you. Your dedication and your dependability make you the highest-level professional in your field. I'm sincerely grateful for all that you do." Mary Ellen Junda, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, School of Fine Arts, University of CT.
