I
gave
you
my
three
children
to
hold
and
to
love.
The
gift
of
music
you
planted
in
their
hearts
will
be
forever
with
them!

Thank
you
for
creating
and
teaching
the
most
incredible
music
program.
Laura
Sky
is
so
fortunate
to
have
been
introduced
to
classical
music
and
composers
so
early
in
her
life.
Everything
you
have
taught
has
been
amazing.

Dear
Elena!
Boy
do
we
miss
you!
I
have
searched
high
and
low,
but
there
are
no
music
lessons,
even
“similar”
to
yours,
here
in
this
area!
Kindermusic
is
all
I
can
find
and
I’m
not
excited
about
it
thus
far.
We
wish
YOU
were
HERE
though!

Jared, Dylan
and I loved our many years at your studio. Thank you for all of
your wonderful years of teaching my children appreciation for
music! -- Leslie Geller

Kathryn
is
very
excited
about
the
“Nutcracker”
and
constantly
asks
to
listen
to
the
music
and
read
the
story.
I’m
looking
forward
to
getting
my
younger
daughter,
Julia,
in
the
“Music,
Mommy
&
Me”
class.
Thank
you
for
opening
up
a
new
world
for
Kathryn.

Kyle
and
Colleen
truly
enjoy
coming
to
your
classes,
and
it
is
their
favorite
activity
after
school.
We
are
grateful
they
are
learning
so
much
about
music
and
music
history.
Thank
you
for
being
so
well
prepared
and
caring,
yet
disciplined
with
the
children.

Dear
Elena!
Just
a
note
to
tell
you
how
enjoyable
your
class
was
the
other
day.
Kaitlynn
has
really
enjoyed
each
week
and
she
has
absorbed
so
much.
Learning
to
appreciate
music
has
been
FUN
for
her
and
I
can
understand
why
after
sitting
in
on
your
class!
You
make
learning
music
both
easy
and
fun.

As
always,
I
am
thankful
for
all
you
do
for
the
children—a
treasure
for
life.
I
feel
truly
blessed
to
have
met
you…
Ilana
actually
cried
yesterday,
after
we
missed
your
Wednesday
lesson:
“Mommy
I
want
to
go
to
Miss
Elena!
--
Susanna
-
You
can
never
imagine
how
grateful
and
thankful
I
am
for
everything
you
have
done
for
Trevor.
I
have
seen
such
wonderful
transformation
in
the
development
of
his
musical
abilities
as
well
as
his
listening
skills
and
love
for
music.” --

Dear
Miss
Elena,
We
had
a
wonderful
time
at
your
class
this
year.
Jessie
always
sings
the
songs
and
I
think
your
excellent
teaching
style
has
aided
her
ability
to
focus
and
follow
directions.

Beautiful
music
rendition.
It
will
make
me
listen
to
classical
music
in
a
more
understanding
way.
Thanks
very
much
for
your
instructions
in
the
short
time,
while
enjoying
Vermont.

concert-lecture.
It

I
have
enjoyed
learning
about
the
composers
and
hearing
their
works.
Not
having
much
musical
background,
but
enjoying
classical
music,
this
has
helped
me
appreciate
the
music
more.
I
really
enjoyed
listening
to
and
watching
Elena
play
-
which
she
does
beautifully.
--
Bob
Dow,

Very
good
program,

Tres,
tres
interesant!
Sorry,
we
didn't
have
more
time.
One
of
the
best
programs
we
have
had
at
any
Elderhostel.
--
Carrie
Conover,
Naswell,
MA
-
Outstanding
class
-
both
from
the
standpoint
of
content
and
presentation.
Good
comprehensive
overview
of
10
famous
composers,
including
insights
into
the
humanity
of
true
men.
The
choice
of
representative
works
was
very
much
appreciated.

Elena
obviously
has
great
command
of
her
subjects
and

--
B.

-
By
far
the
most
outstanding
part
of
my
stay,
Feb.9-14.
There
is
no
way
I
can
explain
how
much
the
music
selected
and
Elena's
explanation
and
piano
presentation
has
meant
to
me.
--
Raimond
Bowles,
Portsmouth,
NH
-
This
class
has
been
a
real
treasure.
Elena
makes
all
the
music
come
alive
&
her
outlines
of
the
lives
of
the
composers
have
been
a
revelation.
