Thank you Mr. I for bringing the joy of music into our children's lives. I was telling my hubby the other day how special you are for doing that. There are soooo many kids who love you and the things that you bring to their lives, including our Raiyah and even Shaun. So thanks, and we look forward to seeing you next year again.
Thank you for making learning music so much fun! Have a great Summer!

Thank you sincerely for being Nevada's teacher. I love to hear her singing the special songs you've taught her (*She always sings for us in the car wherever we go). The musical training has been excellent for her and I know she will look forward to being with you again in September. We hope you enjoy this 'musical gift', which Nevada chose for you herself.... (we need somthing that makes a song..-said Nevada). Thank you, Mr. I

It was a great year. I had lots of fun. You taught us the recorder very well. I will miss playing it with you, although I will play it with my music teacher it will not be as much fun as it was playing it with you. My favourite songs are Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Rock Gently Sailboat. Have fun and good luck!

"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).
Alex
Thanks so much for making the music class lots of fun and considering each child's character. Jesse enjoyed it very much.
"Thank you for all your musical teachings and patience."
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
