MUSICAL RAINBOW 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 identities.

MUSICAL RAINBOW COMMENTS from the end of the 2009 Teaching year:

"Goodbye Mr. I. Thank you for teaching me lots of great songs and how to play the recorder. I will miss you, from Alex. (ps- Alex finished the Purple level this year. I am so very proud of him and his two older brothers who also went through the Musical Rainbow program).

Thanks so much for making the music class lots of fun and considering each child's character. Jesse enjoyed it very much.

"To Mr. I (the man of many CDs) Thank you for being such a good Musical Rainbow teacher for Cara!! She learned how to sing and play music!! Most of all she learned how to have fun and play games with others!! Best wishes to you and your family always!!!" Wills family.

Dear Mr. I, The school year is nearing it's end and with it comes the end of your program. 4 years... hard to believe how fast it has gone by! uit in those 4 years, you have taught the children so much! The love of music is very imprortant in our lives and I am excied to see how much Tommy enjoys it - this is also thanks toyou, your hard work, patience, dedication and passion for music and for what you do ! thank you soooo much for all that you have done and be sure we will be bck with Elishka! (Ivana)

And here is a very special letter sent through email from Jack's family after graduating from the Purple class. Thank you so much for this letter:

Dear Mr. I,
My wife and I wanted to send you a brief letter expressing our sincere appreciation and thanks for the time you have spent over the recent years teaching our three boys Luke, Callum and Jack all about the musical rainbow. All three of our boys spent 4 years with you, from the ages of 5-9.
We really appreciate the education in music that you provided them, especially because we are not a particularly musical family. For us as parents, to see our boys sing in the concerts, read their music, play their recorders and learn all about the places and peoples of the world through your teaching, has been such a great thrill for us. We know that they have learnt so much from you (without even realising it) and that the musical knowledge and skills they now possess, will always be with them.
We have always admired your teaching style and the great patience that you show with all of the children in your classes. You have made a lasting and very positive impression on our family and we now like to think that we are not quite as much the non-musical family we once were. We hope that you continue to teach your music to the young people in our community for many more years to come.
Our very best regards, and thanks once again.
Darren and Sandra

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.
