"A huge thank you from me to you for your wonderful "Fun with Music" classes. Finty adores them - you have really captured her imagination and only a few weeks ago I found myself buying her the full score of the Prokofiev "Romeo and Juliet" - and the Christmas list contains lots of other requests! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Alas, she has only one term left with you, but what you have done for her will last all her life - Michael and I are so grateful. Please keep in touch with us.
With love and thanks, Judi"
