TEACHING COMMENTS
Every year I get so many wonderful cards and gifts from my students. Thank
you all so much for these. I have seen other websites include comments and
have decided to create such a page as well. I will add things as we go. If
you have any comments about the teaching program that you would like to add
to this page please let me know. Will only include first names to protect

Thank you for teaching me, Mr. I. I liked all the recorder
songs that you taught me this year! You are such a good teacher that I learned
'Land of the Silver Birch' on the recorder really quickly. Goodbye and have
a great Summer! ..... A.
Mr. I. I really liked all the songs that you taught
me this year. I loved it when you let us play instruments. My favourite instrument
was the drum. I like singing 'You Are My Sunshine' with you the best. Have
a good Summer and I'll see you in September. ..... A.
Dear Mr. I, Thank you from our whole family for all
the music lessons and concerts. We have all enjoyed them and I know you have
helped instill a real joy of music in our children. The final PURPLE concert
was a real 'tear-jerker' for me. Your comments were so kind and meaningful.
Our children have been lucky to be taught by you. You are, in my experience,
one of the most outstanding educators I've encountered, Sincerely, Elizabeth-Anne
