Thursday 21st August 2008- Dear Arlette Thank you
very much for the last two weeks. The course
was magical and everyone was very friendly. I made lots of new friends, loved
the countryside and went on refreshing walks. It was very
lovely to meet foreign friends and share a dorm with them. I've never
been to Shrewsbury before and it was very beautiful. The student
concert was the longest concert in my life!! It was very
fun teaching Adash even for a short amount of time. He played
very well! My mum still
misses playing and teaching him. I would
love to help little children next time~~ There was
always something to do other than practice, which I loved. I also
liked the swimming pool very much and tennis and football! My mum
enjoyed it very much as well. We
still talk about it all the time! I miss the
music course especially friends but we have email. Please send the cards to the teachers!~~ Thank you
very much, Love Julia Hwang 12 years old violin (Bristol) Korean Masterclasses Richard Crabtree and Alexander

Sunday,
24 August 2008 Dear
Arlette On
behalf of my children, Manuel and Maria Abecasis, that participate for the 2nd time, I would like to express
our deep-felt thankfulness to you and Alan for organising such a
wonderful course that gives them the opportunity to benefit from the contact of
great teachers/artists as well as from the very challenging and warm
atmosphere you create there. To
meet so many young (and not so young) people from all over the world
that share a common passion-music-is really a magic idea that can help build
their characters so that they can become better individuals. Specially
for my son Manuel this has become a most expected moment of the year and
landmark for his life and love for music has he had the great chance of have
met the wonderful teacher and amazing violinist Alexander Trostiansky
that was generous and patient enough to teach him for the 2nd year in a row. I
would like to extend our thanks to all the other great teachers present in
the course that contributed to make it so great and appreciated. Also
for parents it was again a great joy to witness the happiness of our children
and the progress they made both in music and English but also
regarding self-esteem, autonomy and independence. You
can count with us for next year. Clara
Moura Guedes On
behalf of Manuel (violin, violin master class, strings orchestra, orchestra,
chamber music and piano) and Maria (violin, cello, strings orchestra,
orchestra and chamber music) from Portugal |

2008 Chère Arlette, Le passage de Frensham à Moreton Hall a montré que,
plus que le lieu (le nouveau collège est par ailleurs magnifique, à la
lisière du mystérieux Pays de Galles), ce sont les hommes et les femmes que
vous avez choisis qui font le miracle de ce stage qui permet à chacun, du
débutant au musicien confirmé, d'y trouver son bonheur tout en améliorant sa
pratique des langues. L'intensité de ces 2 semaines est telle que l'on s'en
trouve un peu dépossédé une fois replongé dans le quotidien de l'existence. Heureusement se profile déjà l'espoir du prochain été
qui sera, j'en suis sûr, aussi studieux, aussi convivial, aussi
enthousiasmant pour nous tous. |

Tuesday,
02 September 2008 Dear
Arlette, Thank
you very much for the follow up of the course and the pictures. We
only got back home 2 days ago and are still enjoying talking about the
wonderful time we had and the wonderful people we met. We
spent all the way back home in the car (2300 km!) singing together Ave
Verum, All things bright and Beautiful, etc. (William would
probably have fainted if he had heard us!). We definitely want to come back
next year, so please, put the four of us on your list (we will wire the
reservation tomorrow). We
can really tell our children have discovered how to enjoy music in the Peter
Pan course; their teachers (Nadine and Gilad) were fabulous!
When
we decided to enrol the children for the course this year we were not sure
about taking classes ourselves. Thank
you for inviting us to do so, we discovered you are never too old to learn
and to overcome your fears. We
would like to thank Sarah (Colman) and Alex (‘Forsyth) for their excellent
classes, their enormous patience and for being such wonderful peoples. A
special thank for our English teacher Alan, who is not only the perfect
English teacher but also an inspiring person to see as a model: his temperate
manner and warm personality did not go unnoticed and were very much
appreciated by everyone. Maybe
you were unaware, but many of us saw you holding hands and embracing each
other during the final concert. Also
our expression of gratitude for Ashley (and his lovely wife Aneta), who, in
all circumstances, no matter how exhausted, worried or upset, always kept a
smile and friendly attitude.
And,
of course, many many thanks to you for being the heart of this life enhancing
project. No
cultural clashes, misunderstandings, broken mattress springs, bad pianos,
rainy weather or hard to digest liver with gravy can spoil this wonderful
experience!
Take
a well-deserved rest. We will keep in touch, Rosa

September 2008 Dear Arlette, Alan,
Alex, William … Eneko arrived at
home after his second summer at LMFL, delighted and inspired. He is dying for
returning next summer. Thank you very much
for your help at picking him up from Liverpool. Thanks to Alex
Forsyth and William Godfree for the stimulus and motivation they transmitted
to Eneko (a brief feedback from them would be very much appreciated). Thanks
also for the English professors, Eneko improved it significantly. This year we missed
the opportunity of joining you at the end course auditions. Last year we
enjoyed that very much, the atmosphere, the enthusiasm and joy of the young
performers, … We hope to see you
again next year. Thanks again,
Jorge and Virginia

August 2007 The new place you choose
for next year sounds and looks great! Our trip is a little bit like
one of Bonnie and Clide or Humbert Humbert and Lolita (in my case 2
Lolitas): I am moving every day to a new place. The
children didn't check anymore, in which city they woke up. Now I am in Berlin and plan to stay here longer. We
need a rest of our holidays! So I don't have a constant access to Internet.
. Changes are good anyway. "Thank you for the
music!" And for the nice part of our holidays! My children were very happy and are already
eager to come the next year. Please, try to organise a
better weather next Summer! Say hallo to Alan From all of us. With best wishes. Masha

2007 as they arrived segunda-feira, 30 de Julho de 2007 Dear Arlette, Alan and Various Teachers: As newcomers to your summer course and on behalf of
Manuel, Rita and Maria I would like to thank you for the great
experience they had in The course that, for different reasons, was very
significant for each of them, according to their different personalities,
approaches to life and interests. Our “full time musician” Manuel ( in
the sense that music is central and his main interest in life…) was overwhelmed by the opportunity of
attending Sasah (Alexander Triostiansky) ´s classes, with the
benefit he took from what he learned and the great pleasure of
listening to him playing so beautifully , as well as the great piano
classes with Vera, the Orchestra which was a premiere for him and for
Rita the wonderful sessions with
David Heyes. Thank you very much for all your
organisation. Best regards Clara de Moura Guedes For

01/08/2006 Dear
Arlette Just a short e-mail to say thank you to your husband for such a
wonderful week at Frensham. 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 Alan
Combes Conducting Course 01/08/2006 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 Best wishes
Glenn, Barry and Stefan Spencer Kingsley Stoke on
Trent Dear Arlette, . In Italian we say: abbiamo fatto una esperienza
molto arricchente. Stefania Jade Trucchi Main course
and Peter Pan Course 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 Inigo Alonso
Viribay Dear Arlette,
Dear Agnès, This was my
4th time in Frensham. 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 have 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 Frensham - Tea time:"some"
times it was preceded or replaced by cup washing sessions in (men)
lavatories. - The food/
catering: Very good for a diet. I never ate such a lot vegetables and oranges
in 15 days! - The
accommodation: we already knew that Frenham Heights is not a 4 star
hotel but we were very lucky in the main building: the room was clean,
no spider in the shower, and the must: hot water! - 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 Agnès 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 Pool (classical
singing), Letizia Morelli (jazz singing), Cedric Pytel (percussions), and
Edwin Rolles (chamber choir and choir). See you next
year! Tatiana - Paris 40+ years old

peu fatigué cette année... je crois qu'il a bien vécu ces deux semaines à
Frensham. Gino est très très content et sa femme aussi. Marco est enthousiaste,
comme Vittoria. Je te dois faire mes
compliments pour ce que tu arrive à organiser. Tout le monde que j'ai
rencontré à Fresham 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
