The Cherry Valley Music Studio > Comments

"Charles: Truly – I have never lost sight of how much you gave me in terms of music and musicianship - it trumps all I’ve learned in any music lesson, class, degree – my time learning from you taught me more than anything. In fact the music you shared with me, is something that made me a better human, not just a better musician and for that I am forever indebted to you. Thank you for making my life more beautiful." L.M.G., 2010, Professional Musician and Teacher, New York

"In 2002, at age 56 (and a half), I had my first piano lesson at Cherry Valley Music Studio. I started with a $200 (66 key) keyboard. Little did I know that 6 years later I would own a beautiful Yamaha Conservatory Grand and be the hostess of a lovely afternoon tea in my home. This has been an incredible journey that has enriched and changed my life forever. Thank you, Charles and Molly, for giving me the gift of music. I am truly blessed to know you." S.W. August 2008
