Venetian Course Feedback as they come

 

 

25/07/ 2011

Dear Arlette,

The Venice course has been an amazing experience not only from the musical point of view but also from the site and from the friendly relationships the students made.

Students were able to work very intensively and at the same time, socialize and discover the secrets of probably the handsomest city in the world, in big part thanks to the hosts they had, the Cozzi Del Bo family, Beta, Albertina and Arturo. In addition, it was very interesting the mixed-feeling one had inside the conservatory : in one the one hand it was sad to realize the difficulties of maintaining such an architectural piece of jewelry, and on the other, it was quite fantastic to be able to practice and live inside a building showing its decadence and the injures of time in a Baroque ambience very close to Blade Runner film. Thank you very much for giving our kids this incredible opportunity, we hope to repeat it next year.

Chère Arlette,

 

N'ayant pas pu vous joindre malheureusement par télephone avant notre départ en vacances, je voulais vous remercier de tout cœur ainsi que la famille Cozzi Del Bo pour le stage a Venise. Nos  enfants ont été enchantes plus que jamais par le travail musical, les pédagogues formidables et l'ambiance chaleureuse du stage. Nastassia

vous est bien reconnaissante Pour l'année prochaine, Nastassia voudrait refaire de la harpe (elle a plus qu'adoré son professeur) et du piano, quant a Alexandre il veut, bien entendu, retravailler avec Richard May qu'il adore tout simplement.

 

Vous avez su réunir pour ces stages non seulement les grands professionnels, mais surtout les pédagogues de grand talent. Cela rend vos stages uniques a tel point que

le stage n'étant pas encore termine, les enfants demandent déjà d'y être inscrits l'année suivante. Un grand merci a vous, Arlette.

 

Bien à vous,

 

Anna

For Nastassia (Harp with Lisetta Rossi and Italian) and Alexandre (cello with Richard May)

 

May I take this opportunity to express once more Camilla's appreciation to you all.

Camilla would be delighted to attend your course next year as well, provided that the dates do not clash with her graduation ceremony.

 

Camilla will/should receive her BA in Music and Maths next year and would like to continue with music at a higher level ( High School/Academy of music ??).

Kind regards and have very nice holidays

Chère Arlette,

 

Je tenais à vous dire combien j'ai apprécié le stage à Venezia et ce , grâce à vous et à toute l'équipe des organisateurs qui nous avez proposé des cours de haute qualité, dispensés par d'excellents musiciens et pédagogues; et ce, dans un cadre idyllique !

Ce stage m'a profondément marquée, tant par l'enseignement que j'y ai reçu que par la qualité des échanges musicaux et humains, avec les stagiaires , professeurs et encadrants.

J'ai vu qu'un deuxième stage à Venezia était déjà programmé pour Juillet 2012; j'ai hâte d'y être !

 

Encore merci Arlette ; remerciez bien aussi la famille Del Bo-Cozzi de ma part!

Je vous souhaite un bon séjour à Llandovery et à Chambon.

Je vous embrasse

Laura ( flûte traversière with Alessio Bacci )

Dear Arlette

Hope all is well and you still remember me, this is Justin and Christie's father, Francis.

It was indeed a wonderful and memorable experience in Venice,

and I haven't had a chance to say thank you for such a remarkable event.

I have a question, do you have the student concert in DVD form?

Or is it possible to post to You Tube?  Particularly Justin's part,   reason being Justin is having an exam very soon and would like to demonstrate to his tutor and pianist as reference. in advance.

Hope to seeing you next year!

All the best and warm regards

Le Chambon sur Lignon Course

Just to let you know that Maria and Rui had an unforgettable experience with you all. 

They spent all  evening playing and showing their pieces to us and seemed very happy with that. 

All the team was very nice and warming, teachers brought with them a new spirit for studying music  Really.

We want to thank Arlette and all her team, teachers specially David, William, Richard Crabtree, Sergei and Gerald McChrystal.

Let’s see what we can do next year.

All the best,

Marta and Manuel VP

 

Dear Mrs Herrenschmidt-Moller

 I’m writing this letter in order to apologize for not having said goodbye properly. I didn’t have the chance to do it because I didn’t feel well at the end of the students concert.

I’m sorry my English is not good enough to express how I feel about the course.

My daughter and I really liked it very much and we enjoyed it a lot. We were really pleased of participating in “The International Summer Course 2011 at Chambon sur Lignon”.

The course was really fantastic, amazing and interesting for us.

I personally think that is the proper atmosphere I want for my daughter and my son: young people from different countries living together, interchanging experiences, playing instruments and singing together, learning music and languages from great masters and feeling the music around.

My daughter, Alejandra, is really fascinated, delighted by the course and specially from her teacher Mr Crabtree.

I sure this experience will encourage her to keep on studying and enjoying music.

She feels enthusiastic about attending the course next summer.

We are very grateful to you.

Your sincerely,

 Mª Luisa Castillo Álvarez (Alejandra´s mother)

Arlette

We are thanking you a lot for wonderful courses in which our daughter Natalia participated.

She is very pleased with the professional learning to play the violin and the learning of English. Natalia very much would like to arrive for courses next year.

We want to buy the DVD from the final concert.

We are waiting for the further information. We are extending warm greetings

My daughter, Alejandra, is really fascinated, delighted by the course and particulary from her teacher Mr Crabtree. I sure this experience will encourage her to keep on studying and enjoying music. She feels enthusiastic about attending the course next summer.

Dear Arlette,

Thank you so much for going through the trouble of uploading this video on YouTube!

Our stay in Chambon-Sur-Lignon is full of great memories.

Marie Louise, Max James, Monty

 

The parents are joining the children in expressing our thanks and gratitude to you and the wonderful teachers you have organized for the memorable camp.  New friendships, new musical skills, experiences of the beauty of the mountains and the fascinating history of the area have enriched our lives.

Once again with gratitude,

Yours,

Llandovery Course

Dear Arlette,

We want to let you know how much Peter enjoyed his time at lmfl Landovery...both the excellent quality of the music instruction (which he found to be truly exceptional) and the many close friends he made. In fact, one of them, Eugenio Stella, has just visited Peter and his cousin Davide Treves here in Florence for a few days. I know they expect to enjoy other reunions with lmfl friends as well. Peter is definitely planning to return to lmfl next year, perhaps even for two sessions.
Meanwhile, we wish you a very good year and we look forward to being in touch regarding enrolment for next summer. Please keep us informed of any news regarding the lmfl program.

Fond regards,
Emily and Marcelo Rubin New York

Chère Arlette,

Aprés quelques semaines de vous avoir quitté à Llandovery, l’experience vécue est encore très vivante chez nous, et Marta est vraiment encouragée et motivée. Les enregistrements qu’on a fait à l’occasion du concert le dernier jour montrent un niveau musical étonnant et une excellente ambiance.

En fait, nous sommes dejà en train de décider pour l’année prochaine, aussi tôt que les dates seront fixées nous allons vous contacter pour la reservation.

 Nous vous prions de bien vouloir remercier de notre part Nadia Korshakova, mais aussi William, Richard, Jean-Luc, Alexander, et toute l’équipe : Son travail est exceptionel.

En ce qui vous concerne, chère Arlette, nous vous remercions de votre attention avec Marta et nous restons à l’attente de vos nouvelles pour la prochaine année.

Très cordialement.

Josep Girbau

Dear Arlette,

first of all I want to tell you that for Michele the Llandovery course was an amazing experience. Really. He had wonderful teachers and wonderful mates, and when he arrived at Linate airport he said (actual quotation): “I am here just because I have to, otherwise I would have stayed there.”

Now, I need to ask you a favour. We need a sort of “certificate” (I can’t find another word) which states that Michele followed the course last August and the single courses he attended. This way he could gain some school credits.

Could it be possible for you?

Please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance and all the best,

Manuela Giasi
