"Melinda, thank you for a job well done!! You are creative, so clever with the variety of modalities you use, especially your S.P.E.C.S program, and always very well prepared!!! Your sense of humor also added to the enjoyment of the group!!
I feel that from the very first group, with Bob, you seemed to meet everyone's needs. It was a bitter sweet ending to a wonderful musical extravaganza!! I learned that there is no end to the diverse activities one can do with music, movement and instruments!! Thank you! And, "That's what friends are for...so keep smiling, keep shining..."
