Needless to say, you were an incredible influence on my musical life. I remember how hard we worked my freshman year to audition for All State and how ecstatic I was when I got in!
So, thank you so much for everything. I honestly could not have gotten to where am I today, if it hadn’t been for your tutelage. You instilled in me a love for music that I really couldn’t have gotten anywhere else.
– Leo, former pre-college student
