If all other Thursday, Friday would like to adjust their times for summer, please also let me know as soon as possible.

Dear ECSVS Students, Friends and Families, Periodically I reach out to ask if you may be kind enough to leave a, “REVIEW”, of your progress, experiences with me and our string program. It is something that helps to maintain visibility for all we do.To each my Star Students and Violin Families Members! A small string program as ours means a lot and is quite special for many! It is however not necessarily something well known outside our violin and string community. I am writing asking if you may be willing to take few moments of your time to leave/ write a , “Review”? Periodically I ask students/ friends and student families if they would leave a comment or two for me at our site that may allow others to learn and know more about our program. The link below will take you to the location where you may share your experiences working with me, as well as your/ your families playing progress. This will take you to a Google Page and you simply click on the, “OPEN”, button in center of page. I appreciate your positive comments and encouragement, but this is also meant for you to have the opportunity to share your own personal experiences. Your review would be a great help and support to me and all we do individually and as a group! Thank you to each our amazing String Players and Families! I have been truly blessed and grateful for each of you!Thank you!
