Dear
Arlette
Just
a short e-mail to say thank you to your husband for such a wonderful weeks
I
really enjoyed meeting so many new and wonderful people and it was great to
have the opportunity to work with William and conduct the orchestra.
I did
give Ashley some photo's but since coming home I
have edited and improved many of my pictures.
I
will post you a CD of them so you can use them if you need to.
Once
again thank you.
Every
blessing

Dear
Arlette
Just
to say thank you for allowing Stefan the Anne-Sophie Herrenschmidt
Scholarship
Without
it he would not have been able to come
He
had a wonderful time and made some wonderful friends
He
also grew extremely fond of both Jean-Luc Borsarello and Alain Villard and
was very sad to say good-bye to both.
When
he got home he has a letter from his piano treachery, who
is 84 years old saying that he passed Grade 7 piano with distinction, which
was wonderful because he has only been playing the piano for the past 2and
half years.
He
was so sad to leave everyone that Saturday; I n fact I ‘ve never seen Stefan so upset, he fell asleep in
the car, tears still running down his face. It was a log journey home and
we arrived back late at 3.30am.
We
cannot say thank you enough, Arlette. You do a wonderful job.
We
are trying to save every hard for next year because I know how much Stefan
wants to come back.
We
all enjoyed the concert very much, it was a lovely evening and very
emotional because Stefan was about playing his violin without score and
also he ‘s never played the piano in public
before, because he never though he was good enough.
It was a very difficult thing for him to
do, but he did it and we thought very well

Hi
Arlette,
How
are you after another summer course? I hope you are feeling well and you
are resting. I am only writing few words to let you know how happy I have
felt this year there.
Personally
I think it has been the best year in all aspects. I am not only happy because I really
have worked hard (something I enjoy doing it), but because the quality of
the concerts.
I think the teachers’ concert has been the
best in all these years, quality pieces and short (the idea of including Letizia in it I think it was great and I hope she
continues singing in the teachers concert in
future summer courses). Also the kids concert was great, the idea of doing one for the Peter Pan Course before
lunch was fantastic as good as living for after dinner the best students.
I do
not have any negative point (apart of the food) about the musical part, I
can see how every year is improving and getting better this course and it
is nice. I think the rest of the teachers are excellent and I am very fond
of Jean Luc (great man and person). I
Well
I wrote more that few words, but to resume I want to congratulate you and
every body who has helped you in the success of this years
summer school and I hope the future brings more joy, fun and happiness to
you and the summer course.
Yours
friendly

Dear
Arlette, Dear Agnès,
This was
my 4th time in the LMFL course
Every
year is different: the weather, the number of students, the
teachers, the program, ... All that may
vary except one thing: 15 days of intense work in a very friendly and
congenial atmosphere.
For
those who were not with us, here is a summary of these 15 days.
- The
weather: what an English weather! 30° C every day and 34°C (the highest
temperature in record in England) one day. I'll remember that because of
the beautiful "coup de soleil" I got.
- The
swimming pool: thank God there was a swimming pool; very useful when we got
15 minutes between 2 rehearsals or lessons.
- The
pub: not enough time to go to compare the atmosphere of ALL
the pubs around
- The
food/ catering: Very good for a diet. I never ate such a lot vegetables and
oranges in 15 days!
-
We’ve got a lot of new friends: wasps. I don't understand why you
invited so many wasps this year, and I forgot the instrument they
played.
Thank
you Arlette and Alan for having managed that so well for over one
hundred people.
Now,
I am (back to work) in Paris: 17 °C (hard to believe that we are in
August!), tired but happy to have spent my holidays working hard with
Sarah Poole (classical singing), Letizia Morelli (jazz singing), (percussions), and Edwin Rolles (chamber choir and choir).
See
you next year!

Chère Arlette,
Encore un fois merci.
Stefano il est un petit peu fatigué cette année... je
crois qu'il a bien vécu ces deux semaines au stage
Je te dois
faire mes compliments pour ce que tu arrive à organiser.
Tout le monde que j'ai rencontré au stage était
heureux, même plus que d'habitude (et c'est difficile!).
Le voyage à été agréable, pas de problèmes. Je
dois dire merci à William, qui m'a aidé avec la recherche du taxi.
Encore: Alexander Trostiansky vient jouer à Genova en
septembre, mais je ne sais pas où et quand. Comment pourrais-je faire pour
avoir des nouvelles?
Merci encore pour tout.
Je tiens beaucoup à ton amitié et a
celle d'Alan.
Ciao, un abbraccio

Dear
Arlette
Just a little note to thank you for everything at the course 2006 –
I know it was a difficult year for you,
with so many people and not enough rooms, plus
the kitchens being refurbished, but you coped so well and I really
appreciated all the kindness you showed me.
Looking forward to next year already.
Hope
you enjoy the rest of the summer - but I think we've already had the best 2
weeks!

Chère Arlette,
Vous avez créé un monde à part, en invitant toutes les générations à se
retrouver autour de la musique, du plaisir et du travail, et pour cela nous
vous serons toujours reconnaissants et fidèles a
. Le plus difficile est, comme nous l'avions prévu, de se retrouver dans le
monde "normal".

Cara Arlette,
grazie per tutto quello che hai fatto a Frensham!
Sembrerebbe che ogni anno sia meglio del
precedente.
Mi sono divertita molto, ho lavorato
moltissimo, ho perso due chili, ma soprattutto mi è piaciuta la settimana
del pre-course perchè ho molto migliorato il mio inglese insieme a persone
molto simpatiche.
Tantissimi saluti a te e ad Alan, e spero proprio di
poter tornare l'anno venturo.
Albertina Del Bo
Cara Arlette,
quest'anno mi sono trovato molto meglio rispetto
all'anno scorso, i compagni erano molto più simpatici.
Il mio inglese ha fatto enormi progressi grazie, in
primo luogo al pre-crasch course.
se posso dare un consiglio, suggerisco, senza far
troppo "l'italiano all'estero", di migliorare la cucina che,
verso la seconda settimana è un po peggiorata, specialmente il
breakfast.
le lezioni con rustem sono stupende e musica da
camera è molto divertente.
ti ringrazio e spero di tornare anche l'anno
prossimo.
Arturo. Del Bo
Chère Arlette
un mot un peu tardif pour vous remercier pour avoir accueilli Mathilde, qui
a été absolument ravie du stage fin
juillet
Elle est revenue enthousiaste sur la musique, l'enseignement, l'ambiance,
etc.. et est repartie avec son violoncelle en
vacances!
Florence et moi avons également beaucoup apprécié le bouquet final du
dernier week end et la qualité des prestations
des élèves comme des professeurs, de la musique de chambre, comme de
l'orchestre
j'espère que Mathilde reviendra l'année prochaine
merci beaucoup

Dear
Arlette
Now
that the summer is nearly over and we are slowly returning to school again,
I wanted to thank you for organising the wonderful week Connie had the
first week of the above summer camp.
We
came to it late and could only manage half the session but she benefited
from it enormously. She came home playing the piano very differently and
having enjoyed her violin experience too. Participating in the choir and
orchestra were new experiences for her at that level because unfortunately
she has not had the chance at school and she thrived!
Connie
also enjoyed her French lessons and making new musical friends very much.
All in all a great experience.
Because
we left half way through the course, we were unable to speak to the piano
and violin teachers to hear their impressions of Connie. I am in email
correspondence with Monsieur Villard who I would very much like to speak
to. But I do not have any contact details for Monsieur Jean Luc Borsarello
and I would like to hear both their impressions. Can you forward
me email and phone numbers?
With
many thanks once again for all your efforts

Cara Arlette,
Il corso di lmfl è un evento particolare nel mondo degli stage estivi
che possiamo offrire ai nostri figli adolescenti e giovani nel periodo
delle vacanze. E' la realizzazione straordinaria di un'intuizione geniale
di Arlette Herrenschmidt: passare due settimane nel segno della gioia di
vivere, guidati dall'amore per la musica, dalla voglia di conoscere persone
diverse da sè, in un posto di rara bellezza.
Arlette ha saputo creare i presupposti affinchè i giovani ospiti di LMFL
possano lavorare intensamente e con grande profitto divertendosi molto.
Sono affidati a docenti eccezionali da un punto di
vista umano e professionale: dividono con i propri allievi praticamente
tutte le 24 ore del giorno, coinvolgendoli nello studio tecnico e
nell'interpretazione del linguaggio musicale, ma anche giocando con loro e
dividendo le ore dei pasti e del riposo (poco). I risultati alla fine sono
eccellenti: i ragazzi spesso imparano più in questi 15 giorni intensivi che
in mesi a casa propria.
L'offerta musicale è amplissima, e spazia dal
classico al jazz, dai canti corali alla musica da camera. Alain Moller
organizza e sorveglia la parte relativa alle lezioni di lingua straniera,
in particolare l'inglese, avvalendosi di collaboratrici esperte: una
garanzia di migliorare le proprie conoscenze in materia.
L'ambiente internazionale dello stage è uno degli aspetti più coinvolgenti:
musicisti provenienti da paesi diversi tra loro e con esperienza didattica
e culturale differente, con ragazzi inglesi, francesi, italiani, turchi e
coreani: una meraviglia, un inno alla tolleranza in tempi difficili.
Infine la scelta del posto è tra le più felici:
nella campagna inglese, in una villa antica immersa nel verde, con una
struttura efficiente e collaudata; le fotografie del sito non rendono
giustizia alla bellezza , vedere per credere.
Sono tre anni che iscrivo mio figlio al corso: ogni anno Stefano è sempre
più contento e ripete che è il più bel regalo che possa fargli. Da parte
mia, attendo con ansia i tre giorni di vacanza che mi concedo quando vado a
prenderlo: è per me un raro piacere ascoltare della buona musica in un
ambiente straordinario, in compagnia di persone prezione che imparo ad
apprezzare ogni anno di più.

Bonjour
Arlette,
Thank you very much for all the organization of the course !
J'ai passé 2 semaines géniales !
Alors concernant mes cours de violon avec Alexander :
il m'a appris plein de choses très utiles et j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à
aller à ses cours ! C'est vraiment
un très grand violoniste ! J'ai aussi vraiment
adoré la musique de chambre : c'était aussi Alexander qui nous supervisait
: il nous a transmis une sensibilité pour l'interprétation de notre trio. Par contre le seul regret que
j'ai, est que ces 2 semaines ont passé trop vite :-).
Ce n'est qu'à la fin du stage que l'on a
réalisé avec quelques autres stagiaires que l'on aurait pu faire encore des
duos ou d'autres ensembles avec
d'autres instruments. Mais on sait que l'on aurait
de toute façon pas eu le temps de tout faire.

Cara Arlette,
il soggiorno a lmfl è stato fantastico! Mi piace
rivedere nelle fotografie la casa (che subito mi ha ricordato il castello
di Hogwards di Harry Potter), la meravigliosa vista dalla mia camera sulla
campagna e la splendida Ball Room delle prove d’orchestra e dei
concerti.
Era bellissimo sentire la musica dappertutto e
parlare di musica (e non solo di quello) con le mie amiche Sarah e Defne
provando con loro i pezzi di violino in camera. Così il mio inglese ha
avuto grandi progressi.
Bravi davvero i miei maestri-amici Vera e Jean-Luc
che spero di ritrovare l’anno venturo.
Ringrazio te e Allan per l’idea bellissima che avete
avuto e per come riuscite a organizzare tutto.
Non vedo l’ora di tornare a LMFL l’anno prossimo!
Un caro saluto
Albertina Del Bo 12 years old violin and piano
Cara Arlette,
nonostante i problemi avuti con i compagni di stanza
mi sono divertito un sacco. Ricordo le lotte in piscina con il mio
simpatico maestro Rustem.
Il nuovo sport
del biliardo mi ha molto divertito e mi ha fatto conoscere e diventare
amico di Nitzan, grande maestro di violoncello e di biliardo!
I concerti finali sono stati belli e divertenti e
rimpiango ancora le buone colazioni con bacon and eggs e salsicce e funghi,
e la stupenda musica che si sentiva attraversando il musikblock.
Il giardino era stupendo e l’enorme palazzo ricordava
Hogwards. Non vedo l’ora di tornare l’anno prossimo e provare un nuovo
strumento per avere l’ebbrezza di suonare nell’orchestra.
Ho fatto grandi progressi nell’inglese e ora riesco
finalmente a comunicare.
Un caro saluto a te e Allan

This
year was just wonderful and I want to thank you for all the energy you put

……….I
really enjoyed the course this year, maybe even more than last year. I
felt less shocked by what I had to do, met some really nice people, enjoyed
all the students, and learnt how *not* to play the trumpet!! I think the
whole thing was a great success. Several people said to me they thought it
was a vintage year!

Je vous remercie encore pour ces superbes

merveilleux pays, vert et pluvieux !
Au sujet des écoles dont nous avons parlé,
s'il vous est possible de m'envoyer les noms exacts et les coordonnés, je
pense que ça me sera très utile.
Dans l'attente de vos nouvelles, je vous
adresse mes plus amicales et musicales pensées……

Dear
LMFL
I
am still quite amazed by the two week course: such an incredible
atmosphere: a mixture of people rushing from one session to another one …
the feeling that all are running and that all want to do it all: one to one
session, chamber music, orchestra, choir and the discovering of jazz for
some of us.
The
younger ones being shepherded into their bedroom at the allocated time by
the best prefects one could dream of despite their
frustration and protests…. And yet they were not resentful the next day
even though I remember that some Spanish and British teenagers found it
difficult to accept.
Going
to Arlette's office was quite a moment: there you
found fresh fruits,
photocopier, fresh coffee, internet, tel,
medicines and always a large bunch of people ready for a friendly chat in
Italian, English, French, Spanish or Russian simultaneously –not that I
could understand all of it (teachers
and students alike) the mixture of ages was a new experiment for me and I
was amazed to see how harmonious it was.
The
quality and dedication of the teachers was a very high point and the
chamber music organized by Jean-Luc Borsarello was very imaginative: he
adapted to all circumstances!
2
weeks of happiness..Thanks
a million

I
know it's been a long time since the music course, but I've been really
busy these last 3 months and I couldn't write you before... I just wanted
to thank you for the experience: I had a wonderful time, as usual! Carla
had a great time too and we're thinking about coming again next year. We
both arrived really excited and now we keep in touch with some of the
friends that we met there.
Thank
you so much for organising this wonderful course!

La rentrée à Paris a été un peu difficile (chaleur et

images de gens aimables et souriants, ainsi que les sons des rires des
chansons et autre musique...
Ce n'est pas très facile de démarrer la rentrée en

Chère Madame,
Je

bien rentrée car j'étais à la montagne et l'ordinateur se trouve à Nice, à
mon bureau.
Elodie a fait un très bon voyage de retour et a
été enchantée du stage effectué à Frensham, tant par la beauté des lieux,
la gentillesse du groupe, le professionnalisme de tous les intervenants
ainsi que votre attachement à ce que tout se déroule parfaitement. Elle
aurait même souhaité qu'il dure un peu plus longtemps et sera ravie de
revenir l'année prochaine si tous les paramètres sont réunis pour cela.
Il me semble qu'elle gardera, dans tous les
cas, un très bon souvenir de ses 20 ans en Angleterre !
Je tenais également à vous dire que l'idée
d'associer musique et langues (dont l’anglaise )
est excellente et que votre site internet est très bien réalisé.
En vous remerciant pour la photo de groupe,
Veuillez agréer, Chère Madame, l'expression de

great one.
Although
is tiring for 2 weeks, but i enjoy my piano
lessons and jazz vocal lessons as well.
The
teachers are great and plus with the student and teachers concert are
wonderful. I have learned a lot. If I'm still in London next year, I will

Dear
Arlette and Alan,
A
quick feed back about Maria’s experience, before we leave to Chicago (our
family trip of summer).
She
arrived really happy, very exited, and also a bit
sad because she missed her new French friends.
But the day after her arrival she started
to receive phone calls from them and she seems “recovered”. She is
enthusiastic with the experience: the wonderful place, the friends, the
musical atmosphere etc… She wants to repeat.
With
respect the musical part we will see… At the moment she doesn’t play piano,
she doesn’t want to show us what she has learnt.
Well,
we will see if this experience will help her to like to practice more
during next academic course. I’ll keep you informed.
Thanks
for giving this wonderful experience to our daughter.

Dear Arlette,
Hi, it's Sandra.
I really enjoyed staying at the course. The first days were a bit hard but
then when I started getting to know some people, it became wonderful.
The rooms, the bathrooms, the canteen, the swimming pool, the office, also
6th FORM (!!!) was really great.
Knowing people from different
countries was very interesting.
I think I improved my English, and more
important I started becoming more professional on playing the piano.
Thank you for everything.
I hope (!!! very much) I'll see you next year!
Love,
Sandra 12 years old

Bonjour,
Voici juste un petit mot pour vous remercier particuilèrement
ainsi que tout l'équipe de LMFL pour ces deux
semaines passées ensemble.
Ce fut
une nouvelle fois un séjour incroyablement enrichissant et intense tant sur
le plan musical que culturel et humain.
Je
n'oublierai pas les rencontres que j'ai faites au stage, la qualité de tout ce qu'on y trouve:
aussi bien pour les prestations que pour l'enseignement qui nous y est
dispensé et pour la musique qu'il nous est permis d'y entendre.
Ce sont
des gens exceptionnels dans une ambiance et un cadre que l'on ne trouve
nulle part ailleurs.
Pour tout cela donc, merci. J'espère réellement pouvoir revenir l'an
prochain et retrouver tout le monde.
J'ai hâte de pouvoir voir les vidéos des concerts, et le CD du concert des
profs doit aussi vraiment valoir la peine.
Bref, en attendant, je vous remercie une nouvelle fois pour tout,
à bientôt,
Lorraine.

Dear
Arlette,
This is Maria Riera, from Spain, and I just wanted to write you in
order to tell you that I had a wonderful experience!
The first 2 days I was a
little bit scared, because I didn't know anybody, and I though that maybe I
would spend 15 days alone, studying music.
But after 2 days, I started to
know people and the system in Frensham.
I mean, you have your lessons
but then you have your own free time and you can practice or spend it with
your friends doing different activities.
And then the teachers and the
students, they all are really special!
All the teachers are like
friends, and they are really motivated, I mean they enjoy teaching and
spending time there!
Even the English lesson
was great! All people there are like a big family!
Of course we had some problems
with someone sometime, but in general, we all were great together!
And the place, this big
beautiful house, I think it's the perfect place for this course!
I think that it has been that
special because of all this things: the people, the teachers, the
music and the place.
You are in another world
completely different than my city... I know it is just 15 days (next year
it could be 3 weeks!!!) but believe me, it changes you!
The first day when I arrived
to Barcelona, I felt like I needed something, and I think it was the music!
I mean, in 15 days you are stuyding music, everywhere you go you hear music, every
time you want, you talk about music, you live with
music!
But it's not like 24 hours a
day working and working! No, it's not that!!! I just worked when I felt
like working and it was really different than when I work at my home,
I mean in that place even I enjoyed working!! Yes, I know I didn't work so
much, but when I did it, I was enjoying it!
That's all, and about coming again next
year, I don't know... I really want to but you know, in one year things can
change a lot, and I can change my mind, but I think I'll come again!!! And
then I'll be almost 17, and I hope I can go to bed later!!!
Thanks
for all; it was a really good experience for me, I think I've learnt a lot,
and not only in the musical field.
Best
wishes,
MARIA
RIERA Barcelona
P.S. I forgot talking about
the sixth form center and the swimming pool!!
Both are great, but I prefer the sixth form, because it's cool for having
fun with all your friends. The pool is cool too, but you know, with the
English weather it's difficult to enjoy it...
Maria Spanish (just sixteen and very far on
going on seventeen) who found it difficult to got to bed at an “English”
and LMFL’s time-
She came to study English and ended up
improving her piano and voice skills -she was awfully
musical- ‘said
Vera-!’

Dear
Language and Music For Life
My fourteen-year-old
son, Harvey, greatly enjoyed the two weeks in July 2001 at the LMFL’s course. He learnt many musical and language
skills during this time.
His Harp and Jazz piano playing improved
significantly during this time and he also was very happy to join in
the choir and to sing a solo at the concert.
The
international and friendly atmosphere inspired him and he definitely will
be coming back in July 2002.
As
a parent I obviously wanted to be sure of his safety. However within one
hour of arrival Alan Moller and Arlette
Herrenschmidt-Moller, the principals of Language & Music For Life, had
made us feel completely at home within the safe
environment of LMFL
Hopefully
you as successful year this year - and I can't wait to enjoy the memorable
music making that my wife and I enjoyed so much at the end of Festival.
With all best wishes

Chère

Je tiens à te dire ainsi qu'à toute l'équipe
l'excellent souvenir que je garde du séjour , ainsi que les progrès réalisés en anglais
(je crois qu'il y a de quoi faire...)
Mais surtout de l'excellente ambiance et de la sympathie de chacun. Tous
ont vraiment été charmants …j'aurais plaisir à rencontrer chacun à toute
autre occasion…. les éléments positifs et fantastiques dont notamment la
qualité et l'intérêt exceptionnel de tous les concerts et auditions de fin
de stage que j'ai trouvé au stage

d'autres personnes doivent profiter. En espérant vous revoir l'an prochain,
et encore merci,

Bonjour Arlette,
Comment-allez vous?
Nous avons visionné les cassettes des différents concerts et je peux vous
assurer que mes parents se sont, dés lors, montrés véritablement
enthousiastes et particulièrement enchantés après avoir constaté tout le
sérieux et le charme du stage. Par ailleurs j'ai réussi mon examen de piano
qui avait lieu le 18/10. J'entre en supérieur.
Enfin serait-il possible de me communiquer une facture du stage: à mon nom,
avec les dates de séjour et les détails des différentes activités.
En espérant vous revoir bientôt,
Jeanne.

Dear

…of course I would like to come to the course to
the summer school again because I had such a wonderful time there last
summer.
Teachers

Let me take this opportunity
to thank you again for the success of the 3rd musical summer.
Again, nice people have gathered and shared their passion for music and
language.
Again, everyone was aiming at giving the best he could to fulfill his own
and other's objectives, based on a reliable and genuine commitment and a
high level involvement. Again everyone has shared as much as he could and
succeeded in pleasing
others, through hard work as well as fun. What else could we hope, for a
success?
As far as I am concerned, it truly went far beyond expectation. In the end,
I even appreciated potatoes and I have missed them for a while... Book me
for next year, for sure (if I haven't gone over the age limit
!).
Sincerely,

Thanks Arlette for all your
notes, hope you had a wonderful holiday and happy new year for you and your
family and affects, guys are wonderful, growing so much, Juan is tall
already as his father and Arturo missing a little.
Next Monday they are
auditioning to go to the Interlochen Camp for
Music in Michigan USA, they have been working so hard for that. Juan have
been also composing fantastic pieces, they played the composition, he made
in the course for Christmas day to the family, and they couldn’t believe
it, I think he will be a good composer, and more, he is teaching his
brother Arturo what he learned.
So dear Arlette, this is a proud mother writing you about the progress of
her sons, and always appreciated what they got from the LMFL’s
course
We get in touch,
Warms regards,

Chers amis.
Je tenais à vous remercier tout
particulièrement pour la qualité de cette quinzaine
Cette initiative n'a pas de prix, est sans égale
à mes yeux et votre engagement est fervent et sans compromis.
"Bravo !"est certainement le mot le
plus approprié pour vous transmettre, au-delà de mes remerciements, mon
enthousiasme et le sourire que ce séjour m'inspire.
Faire de la musique, mais communiquer aussi
en partageant des langages, cet alliage est réussi, ce mélange est inouï et
les personnes rencontrées touchantes et attachantes pour qui sait en
profiter !
Je
souhaite donc longue
vie à Language & Music For Life, since it really makes life better.
Bien
sincèrement et cordialement.
