Thank you so much for the wonderful "Italy" class CD, which my pupils and I love dancing to. The addition of the violin is amazing, as it gives a legato feel to the work and harks back to the days of the pochette - a story I regularly tell my learners of all ages.

On this occasion I would like to thank you for the inspiring music on your CD's. I use all of them since many years and I do enjoy it all the time (as my students do, too).

Thank You very much, my order arrived in perfect condition. I especially enjoyed the CD "Between tot and teen". The sound quality was superb.

Hi Steven! I met you a few years ago at a ballet seminar in Pennsylvania . You gave a music appreciation for teachers type class that was outstanding. It really was fascinating. No other seminar has offered anything like it. Thanks for the work you do. You are the best one out there. You really have an understanding of what is inspiring and what works.
(I love your Christmas holiday CD).

Thank you for the "Trip to Italy" CD. I have truly found it inspiring and have played it all week in my classes. I asked the dancers to evaluate it at the end of the class and the response was an overwhelming "Great!" Thanks again for another great CD. Mia Welch, Cuyahoga Youth Ballet
Thank you so much for the CD. I used it today and I think it is a very interesting CD. I never used piano and violin for a class and I really liked it. It sounds different and refreshing. Also, for me, it is fun to hear all those Italian tunes...I shall tell my colleagues too about it. You are a great ballet pianist. I sure enjoy your CD. Rosanna, SUNY/Purchase
Just want to let you know I have just received my "Return to Covent Garden" CD and how much I enjoy it.
I am a 56 year old ballet teacher in Melbourne, Australia and still do class myself each week. I have all your CDs and find them really inspiring to dance to. To me, the music is everything - without it to inspire me it's just pain and agony!
I particularly enjoy all your pirouette and petit allegro pieces. They just have that ability to make you keep dancing till you drop (which has to be a good thing!)
My favorite, I have to say, is "A Trip to Italy". Having just returned from a trip there with my daughter in July, every time I use it I feel we should be sitting in a little piazza somewhere in the Tuscan sunshine, drinking wine. I hope you will do another CD one day with violin. It just adds that extra dimension.
Thanks again, and I look forward to your next one. Rosemary Robenn
Hello! I bought your "Trip to Italy" CD a few months ago and must tell you that it is the best CD ever!!!! I just love the violin accompaniment. Excellent!! This is a great theme and I strongly urge you to take another trip to Italy or elsewhere. You really outdid yourself and I can't say enough good things.

I am currently using two of your cd's in teaching my classes at Old Dominion University as well as Governor's School of the Arts. It is not the same as having you play live, but it is really nice to have your delightful songs and interpretations on disc. Thanks, thanks, thanks. Joni Petre-Scholz
Your CD's are wonderful; I love your music. I can't use any others now that I am hooked on yours. Ruth Petrinovich
I was at the City Ballet workshop this August and was more impressed with your music and abilities than any other pianist that I have met or worked with! I received a grant to attend from our Arts Commission and was able to put on the final evaluation form that the workshop surpassed my expectations due to your presence. I learned a lot and am really enjoying teaching again this fall. Your music is outstanding. Sarah Arnold (Phipps) - Capital City Ballet Center, Boise, Idaho
I am a ballet teacher in the San Diego area and attended the Ballet Teachers workshop that you and David Howard presented this past summer at the City Ballet studios here in San Diego. The workshop was fabulous and so helpful. I especially enjoyed the music portion of the workshop; I feel I now have a better understanding of the music.
The students just rave about your playing and are really enjoying dancing to the fun and upbeat holiday tunes. In fact, my students love all your music - and so do I. It makes my job so much more enjoyable. It's great to see the excitement in their eyes when they connect with the music. Thanks for all your wonderful music. Diana Nicastro
