It reminded me that I need more art and music in my life.
Thank you so much for an incredible experience. Your warm and skilled guidance in bringing together 30+ unknown singers was a pleasure.

What I remember most of all is the skill you exercised in coaxing this information out of the girls after Marjory taught it to them and then helping them make music from it. And you did it over and over. You have a huge talent for making meaning and making music that supports learning.
Daphne Hall, Newcomer Teacher, 2013-2015

At the next workshop, I would be more than happy to repeat any of the songs we sang with you! They were all excellent and wort revisiting. Although I would sing twinkle twinkle little star for an hour and a half if it meant I could sing with you!

I absolutely loved this workshop! Elise’s spirit and her choice of songs taught, and how she taught them: the range of cultures, genres, and movement – wow! It was so much fun!!

Elise was well organized with her themes of gardening and joy. She also kept the group moving with her use of Qigong and fun musical warm up at the beginning and in the middle. It was FUN!!!

Ever since I was told at the age of 6 that I was out of tune and just had to mouth the songs we were singing at our First Holy Communion, I’ve shied away from singing. That was 60 years ago. Your approach reaffirmed to me that anyone can sing and have fun doing it! Thank you!
