I just finished listening to your CD (and planning a class to it) and felt compelled to write you. Your music is so incredibly beautiful and soulful. My dancers will love taking class to your music. It is so rare to find a CD that completely captures the feel of live accompaniment and somehow you have done just that. I look forward to the release of volume 2 and the many I hope will follow it. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the ballet word!
