Thank You Letters

We'd like to share a few letters we've received from students who've participated in this program.

One thing I would like to tell you is how much your offer helped me and how much it impacted by life. When I first started playing clarinet in sixth grade I loved it. It was all I ever wanted to do. When I first heard about this offer, I almost dropped by clarinet. I remember I raced home as fast as I could and started writing my paragraph to get the lessons, and it paid off, because I did. I started noticing how much better I was getting. Because of your scholarship, I want to go out for the advanced band. Thank you for this fantastic opportunity.

I would like to thank you for sponsoring me to have flute lessons. Janelle was a great teacher. She taught me different scales and the technique of playing the flute. I have become a better musician because of the lessons given to me. Thank you!

Because of this scholarship, I was offered the opportunity to take a set number of private lessons with an incredible violinist. She truly woke me up, as I can see that day by day, I am progressing in areas I never imagined I would be able to do in such a short time. Thank you.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for awarding me the scholarship for private tenor saxophone lessons. This generous opportunity means the world to me and has already begun to have a profound impact on my musical journey. Even though I went into the lessons with some amount of musical knowledge, Professor Gates was a good instructor who gave me a lot of exercises to work on and other techniques that helped me improve tremendously. Once again, I thank you for your trust and investment in my musical future. I am incredibly grateful for your support and look forward to making you proud.

Thank you so much for granting me the opportunity to enhance my ability to pursue music as a profession. I feel very honored and privileged to be able to take private lessons with Mr. Meixner. I will not take this opportunity for granted and will use it to the best of my abilities.

Right now I'm an 8th grader at Rogers. I should probably start by saying "thank you." In 6th grade, I received a scholarship that I didn't even know existed from Arrowbear Music Associates. I was lucky enough to get 12 free thirty minute lessons with a coach at my school, and that is kind of what showed me that I could have a real career in music. I now take private lessons with him and you have no idea how much I look forward to it each week!
