Dear Brett,

Thank you for the opportunity to come visit your orchestra program and congratulations on your student winning the Stringendo School For Strings Summer Academy 2010 Scholarship Raffle!

You are to be congratulated on your excellent program and I enjoyed meeting with your students. In my travels I have the opportunity to hear and work with many high school orchestra programs around the country and yours is one of the finest. It goes without saying that where there is an outstanding program there is an outstanding teacher as well. Invariably that is a teacher who not only is an expert in their field, but one who enjoys working with their students and is willing to “go the extra mile” for their benefit.

Because not everyone can win a raffle something that I like to offer exclusively to the programs I visit is a scholarship to our camp available to all of your students. I have attached the flyer for you to print and give to any of your students who may be interested in attending our summer academy.

I wish you continued success and thank you for your commitment to young people, their musical education, the cultivation of the musical arts and specifically classical strings in our communities.

Cordially,
Patrick Clifford
