Testimonials and Thoughts to Ponder
Gila, I am writing to thank you for leading our class (Thursday 10:30 am). Silas and I loved our time with you and the others.
Your joy and skill inspired us to register for Music Together® here in our new state, NC. Thank you again for all your hard work and sharing.L.Watkins King - Dallas

Dear Ms. Gila,
I am not sure if you remember us at all.... I used to attend the Sunday class with Romil and sometimes Mitali (older daughter) would join in... I am pretty sure we did about 8 terms with you and absolutely loved it.... Well, Romil is almost 6 and Mitali will soon turn 11. (I did Music together with her in Hong Kong as well when she was small.) We moved to Singapore some time back and we continue to enjoy all our old Music Together material. Romil has been playing the piano now for a year and can play some of the songs from the books! We have fond memories of our sessions with you, making music and your newsletter prompted me to write and say THANK YOU! Your passion for making music a way of life has stayed with us and although we have moved, we think of you and remember you fondly!
Hope you and your family are doing well. We are hoping to visit South Africa next year and will contact you for some tips!Rashmi M. - Singapore

I thought you would love to know that when we went grocery shopping today, Asher just started singing (and very loudly of course!) our rhthym patterns in the produce section, and it didn't take long for Kajsa to join in! This is how it started...
"Strawberry, strawberry, yum, yum!" (repeat, repeat, repeat)
"Potato, potato, potato, yuck, yuck!" (repeat, repeat)
...and lasted the whole shopping trip!E. Brinkerhoff - Dallas

| We will look forward to seeing you in 2008! I have really enjoyed watching Lauren's musical interest grow over the past few months. I think your program is just amazing. See you soon and Happy Holidays to you as well! Lori M - Dallas

| I have been going to Music Together with my twins since they were 6 months old. They are now 2 1/2 (7 sessions) We have had several different teachers. Each teacher brought unique talents to the classes. Our children got exposed to different instruments, voices, and styles. These differences allowed my children to experience music through different lenses. As a result they have flourished musically - singing and dancing and inventing instruments throughout the day. I want to encourage all Music Together families to try a new teacher. Music Together Mom

| My two year old son LOVES Music Together! We listen to it 24/7 - in both the car and the house! He especially loves to listen to the “run” song (Rig-a-Jig Jig), as we literally run circles around the house. He can’t stop talking about Gila – I think he may have a crush on her! L.O., Dallas

| I just wanted to share a Music Together moment we had this week...Yesterday I was cleaning up in the kitchen and noticed the kids were very quiet, so I looked over and Ian and Ainsley were both sitting on the rug in the living room with legs crossed, patting their knees like we do in the "Hello Song"! So I went over and sat down with them and we sang "Hello Everybody" saying hello to everything in the room (Barbie, Elmo, the couch, etc.!). Ainsley patted her knees the whole time as did Ian, who also sang every word, even though he'll NEVER do it in class! Maybe this week! Eizabeth Harper, Frisco

| I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning. Plato
