"You are all shining examples of what one can accomplish in the arts and I will continue to remind my son of what he can possibly achieve one day. You all inspire him to excel in life and in music." 
    - Bill C., parent from Tampa Metropolitan Youth Orchestra

​"I had such an amazing time playing together and listening to your performance.  Thank you for helping out the octet and [the Governor's School for the Arts] as a whole by sharing your time and knowledge with us."
​     -Jason A., student

​"Something occurred to me this morning as I was driving home and listening to a string quartet on the radio. You not only taught us a lot, but you imparted your love for chamber music to me, even more than before. It will no longer be enough to listen to it. You made me want to see it as well. Thanks for a delightful weekend. You and the other coaches were marvelous!"
    - Marty H., participant at ChamberFest
​
"One of the best coaching sessions I’ve ever had.  I felt we got enough to really make the piece tie together. It jelled and made sense.  Our playing was more clear and dynamic and we put a lot more passion into it! Wonderful! I really hope you do this again.  Your energy is contagious and all of you really seemed to genuinely want to be there with us.  "
        -Beth W., pianist

​"The students expressed how much they learned from your presentation and how much
they enjoyed your enthusiasm and energy."
​         - Michael Webster, Professor of Music at Rice University and Music Director of Houston Youth 
            Symphony

​"Thank you for bringing that wonderful group. Definitely one of the best and most insightful masterclasses we have ever had!"
           - Naima B., student at Virginia Commonwealth University

​​"Thank you for continuing to expose 6th graders to so many wonderful programs...[the assembly] met state standards [and] it helped to introduce and reinforce the idea of variables for the students as they are completing their science fair projects. Listening is a language arts standards and the students were paying attention....On a scale from 1 to 10 [I'd] rate the performance a 10!"
          -Gayla, 6th grade science teacher from Lander, WY 
​
"The students were enthralled by your performance, and amazed that they too could implement some aspects of your musicianship into their own playing in such a short time. Beyond the Chamber has a refreshing approach  to physically communicate through music. I have always told my students that no matter how big the group, they should always play like they are in a chamber group. Your clinic really reinforced that notion!"
           -Teresa N., Orchestra Director at Clark High School

"The coaching was invaluable. I hope that you will be able to bring Music Beyond the Chamber back to USF again!"                              
          - Karen C., violist

"...what a delightful weekend.  Terrific coaching-  and what a performance last night.  You are all so talented.  I think at your level (all of you)  it is truly a gift from God!"
​            - Philip P., USF ChamberFest Participant

"It was wonderful for me to hear you model and demonstrate the musical concepts you were discussing.  I thought you had an excellent interaction with the students and I enjoyed your questioning - instead of simply telling the students."
           - Matthew D., orchestra director at Harrison School for the Arts
​
"Thanks for a great assembly. It was fun, educational and age appropriate. The feedback I received throughout the day from the students and faculty was very positive!"
            -Tony C. , Fine Arts Teacher at Graland Academy, CO

"Thank you SO MUCH for hosting the Chamber Music Party! It was such a wonderful evening and I really appreciate your mission and I wish you success along the way. Playing the Brandenburg #5 with new and supportive friends was a HIGHLIGHT of my life! What a gift!!!! THANK YOU!"
