“Thank you ever so much for your great kindness in answering my letter. I had come across the Kincaid and Rubank, and had gotten them, but not the Kujalad and Altes, so I've ordered them. It looks like they will be a big help! Also was interested in all of the other ideas in your letter!!”

“I can't thank you enough for coming to school and sharing yourself and your knowledge of recorders with our third graders. Many of them remarked about how neat it was to see all the different recorders and hear them played. Some never realized that the recorder was a real instrument. They thought it was just for kids. I've now had several students earn their white belts.“
