Dear Cynthia,

Thanks again for your recent visit- you were wonderful, and left so much enjoyment and learning in your wake! Everyone's looking forward to a time when we can have you back!

I knew we were in for a treat, but I was caught by surprise to see just how good you could make it. The workshop was fascinating, and your music was beautiful, but I didn't realize your insight and mastery would prove so useful and valuable for all of us who are nylon-string players. We've all learned a lot about our instrument, its history, development and repertoire, as well as enjoying ourselves immensely. Your presentation is upbeat and fascinating and your patience and enthusiasm seem limitless. You put each participant completely at ease; it's very reassuring, a really fertile learning atmosphere. Everyone, from observers to beginners to advanced harpers, thoroughly appreciated the afternoon, and left glowing confidently with new excitement, looking forward to next time. I hope it can be soon: there are more requests for your services, based on all the positive feedback around town!

Thanks again for the wonderful work, and your delightful company!

Yours truly,
