"The instructor's great enthusiasm! She obviously loves teaching this course and takes it very seriously, providing great encouragement for the students. I also liked the music selections and simply being part of an ensemble. And the instructor was excellent, as I've said!"

"Lisette is an amazing teacher; I have taken 2 of her classes now and her ability to teach students at different levels together is a gift. She is always patient, encouraging, and positive not critical or threatening which is so important for learning something new at all ages."

"The master class really is amazing. Lisette works well with highly advanced participants as well as beginners. She is so creative. It's like her head is a bubble machine with her thoughts and ideas being the bubbles floating out! Fantastic!"

"Enthusiasm of presenter. Gave us challenging music, but was very tolerant of lesser skilled players. Helped bring us up toward the level she wanted rather than lowering standards. A great workshop."
    André Rollefson, Little Rock AR

"What I love is that Lisette has a standard and she doesn't waver. She suggests ways for less adept (experienced) players to adapt, but she maintains her great high standards."

"I was very pleased with this course. I especially liked that we didn't just practice/play, but were given very practical and interesting instruction techniques for practicing, style, expression, etc."

"The instructor did a great job of balancing individual learning needs and levels in a way that would benefit the whole group."

"Lisette is a wonderful teacher who puts people at ease, and is quick to diagnose problems in technique."

"It must be very challenging for an instructor to teach a group lesson with students of varying background and abilities - Lisette met the challenge so that we were all able to learn and develop individually. She was always positive and encouraging so that class was fun and "non-threatening." She is an excellent teacher - not only very knowledgeable but also able to present material very clearly and in a well-organized manner."
