We want to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and admiration for all you have done for our daughter Chiara over the past ten years.  You are a great teacher and your interpersonal skills communicating with Chiara have been exemplary.  Chiara was only 6 years old when we first met and you connected with her from the very start, carrying it forward consistently every year since into her teenage years.  Her guitar and piano skills are amazing and her musical confidence has blossomed to the point where Chiara now is a musical staple to our church’s Sunday School program.  It is amazing to watch her perform for the children and see how she interacts with them.  We have you to thank for this emotional growth and we look forward to your continued positive influence in our daughter’s development.
