Just wanted to let you know that I love your new CD. I used it in class last night and had a ball. To me, music is the most important element of a class and what gives me my inspiration as a teacher. It's so nice to have original music - there is so much out there with endless Minkus and Tchaikovsky, and, lovely as they are, I really enjoy the work that is original. Please keep them coming.
