"What a superb job you have done on your method! I have enjoyed using the books this year, but best of all, the students love it and are making excellent progress. I also have two student teachers who are using your method for the younger children they are teaching. I think your books are probably the best source available for student or new teachers. Thanks again for...producing a method that is accurate, comprehensive, progressive and practical."

"'Playing the Flute!...' is a very thorough and carefully arranged method for acquiring skill on the flute...The uniqueness and great strength of the work lies in its use of a wealth of superbly selected music, chosen from a wide variety of sources and complete with beautifully arranged piano accompaniments, to teach musicianship. I use these books with pleasure, as do my students.
