You have a gift for arranging and playing passionately to uplift and encourage dancers. I look forward to buying more of your new albums! I've told my other teaching friends about you and they have been so excited to buy your CDs. Thank you for recording your beautifully arranged pieces with such passion, I really appreciate it.
