Piano masterclasses with Alain Villard and Vira Müllerova segunda-feira, 30 de Julho de 2007 Dear Arlette, Alan and Various Teachers: As newcomers to your
summer course and on behalf of Manuel, Rita and Maria I would like to thank
you for the great experience they had in The coursethat, for different
reasons, was very significant for each of them, according to their different
personalities, approaches to life and interests. Our “full time musician” Manuel ( in the
sense that music is central and his main interest in life…) was overwhelmed by the opportunity of
attending Sasah (Alexander Triostiansky) ´s classes, with the
benefit he took from what he learned and the great pleasure of
listening to him playing so beautifully , as well as the great piano
classes with Vera, the Orchestra which was a premiere for him and for
Rita the wonderful sessions with
David Heyes. Thank you very much for all your
organisation. Best regards Clara de Moura Guedes For Manuel, Violin
Masterclass with Alexander Trostiansky Maria and Rita Peter Pan Course Portugal 01.08.2007 Dear Arlette and Alan, This year, for the first time,
I want to say something about your precious work. Really I only repeat you what
I already told you. The period of The coursefor
Albertina and Arturo is a sort of magic engine, it's pure fuel that gives
them energy and perspectives for the rest of the year. The importance of this musical
experience is also and mostly connected with its climate of friendship, in
which they create new relations with other young people from all over the
world that has the same passion for music; and all this relationships
survives for the rest of the year with letters and mails in which they
continue to share the magic Frensham's period. In this close-minded and
difficult world (I refer to Italy), The courseis a sort of rare pearl that
gives oxygen not only to our twins but also to us, when we succeed to come to
participate to the last marathon-concerts, as we did also this year. So I send you my best and
grateful love with friendship, Elisabetta Del Bo
Milan Cara Arlette, ancora ti
ringraziamo moltissimo per queste tre settimane stupende, le migliori di questi
ultimi 3 anni di LMFL. Nonostante il tempo, il divertimento è stato grande. Anche l'organizzazione ha funzionato. Unico consiglio per l'anno prossimo: per noi pianisti
mancavano pianoforti o tastiere, perciò era una impresa ardua cercare di
esercitarsi per le lezioni giornaliere di piano. Ci vorrebbe qualche tastiera
in più... se l'anno prossimo ci sarà ancora la stessa moltitudine di
fantastici ragazzi da tutto il mondo. Un abbraccio a te, Arlette, ed uno doppio ad Alan che
non siamo riusciti a salutare quando siamo tristemente partiti da The course Albertina (violinista e pianista) e Arturo
(pianista e Classe di Composizione) Dear Arlette – We are home and all
exhausted. Rosie took herself off I find the music very challenging, and will have to work very
hard this The children had a good time, and miss their friends
there. James is keen to carry on the clarinet......
– After having my dinner, and
relaxing, I thought my last Wonderful time with the
children doing excellent things and learning at Hester cello and French, James clarinet and recorder +French and Rosie violin+ French London 02/08/2007 Chère Arlette, nous sommes tous rentés sains et saufs
et Federica est déja repartie pour les vacances au bord de la mer en Italie.
Hier soir au téléphone elle me disait que toutes ces mélodies et airs elle
n'arrivait plus à les enlever de sa tête et elle avait beaucoup de nostalgie
pour les belles choses et les personnes rencontrées à The course Merci encore pour toute l'organisation
et un merci special encore au merveilleux
prof de chant, Mme Poole, qui a su faire ressortir une voix et une nouvelle
passion! Bonnes vacances Simonetta.Cervini-Amat Luxembourg 03/08/2007

plus cette année Karl et Wilfried ont beaucoup appris de Rustem,
la vie de collégien plaît Paris 05/08/2007 Dear Arlette Euskadi Monday,
August 06, 2007 Chère
Arlette, Un
grand merci pour l’agréable weekend end que nous avons passé à The course. Paul
était particulièrement ravi de son séjour et compte bien faire parti de
vos chanceux élèves l’année prochaine. Avec
mes sincères salutations Caroline Saint-Aubert for Paul (guitar) Paris Tuesday, 07 August 2007 The new place you choose
for next year sounds and looks great! Our trip is a little bit like one
of Bonnie and Clide or Humbert Humbert and Lolita (in my case 2
Lolitas): I am moving every day to a new place. The
children didn't check anymore, in which city they woke up. Now I am in Berlin and plan to stay here longer. We
need a rest of our holidays! So I don't have a constant access to Internet.
As soon as I come to Moscow(some day in September), I will study the
new adress. Changes are good anyway. "Thank you for the
music!" And for the nice part of our holidays! My children were very happy and are already
eager to come the next year. Please, try to organise a
better weather next Summer! Say hallo to Alan From all of us. With best wishes. Masha
Polynceva –Brockstedt for Maria,
Sophia and Lousha Moscow Thursday, August 09, 2007 Bien chère Madame, Après un temps d'attente,
notre départ a été rapide et je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de vous dire au revoir
de vive voix et surtout un grand merci. Mariane a passé un séjour des plus agréable
et riche de tout ce que vous avez pu lui apporter ainsi que les différents
professeurs et membres de l'encadrement. Elle en garde un souvenir
émerveillé et en parle avec un réel enthousiasme. Pour la Chine, elle est
partante, mais ni son père, ni moi-même ne pouvons l'accompagner. J'ai lu sur votre site, que
moyennant un supplément de 150 Livres, vous emmenez des mineurs connus de
votre groupe, seuls. Est-ce que ce pourrait être le cas pour Mariane? Dans l'attente de votre
réponse, je vous remercie et félicite encore pour le stage de The course M.A.Luiggi-Azmy 10/08/2007 Dear Arlette We wish to thank you very much
for the experience Asara has had with the Summer School. She has already wished that it
would be good if she could return another year. Jean Greaves Barbados for Asara violin and Spanish Monday, August 13, 2007 Dear Arlette: Thank you so much for sending it. Everyone who hears Thomas
play, notices the difference since his experience with Paul. Cavaciutti He has not
only improved in technique but has also gained much confidence and
he speaks very highly of his time at LMFL. Regards, Lucie Carney for Thomas Carney

20/08/2007 Dear Arlette, On behalf of Jan-Einar we would like to thank
you and all your team for his wonderful two weeks in The course He enjoyed the language and percussion
lessons very much and learned a lot in both areas. The music, the friends,
the teachers and the friendly atmosphere gave him a great pleasure. With best
wishes from Rodgau ( Angela &
Jürgen K. Groh for Jan-Einar Groh Classical
percussion with Jackie Kendell and drums with Paul Cavaciutti Dear Arlette, I have no words to describe the joy for
having been to your music summer school I 've improved a lot my study of piano. To
be in that wonderful place with music everywhere for all day it's magic. Most of the
boys and girls, helped me a lot in
the study of music, giving me
precious advices every
day and encouraged me. My piano teacher,
Alain Villard has worked
miracles with me by teaching me how to play better Chopin and ... the Syncope of
Bach. I hope to come back also the next year because it’s impossible
for a person who loves music missing your Music courses. Thank you! P.s.
I enclose some photos of the course 2007. Best regards Lucia Castellana Pianist Parma,
(Italy) 20th august 2007 Tuesday, 21 August 2007 Dear Arlette I wanted to write and thank
you for such a wonderful experience on the Because of my work with Alain
on the piano I have been motivated to sell Amy Sandridge
(piano, violin and French) And her daughter Isis Greer-Sandridge Peter
Pan Course violin piano and French Qatar Sunday, 09 September 2007 Hi there Arlette, I really must apologize for not writing to you
earlier, but we have all been rather busy. When I first dropped Stephanie off, I was rather
apprehensive about the course, but those 14 days really made a world of difference. She had an absolutely fantastic time and enjoyed
every minute of it. She made some really good friends on the course as
well. Further we have kept in touch with Nitzan Laster and
he has found a great Cello Teacher for Stephanie in Hong Kong. So once again many thanks for all your hard work and
arrangements and I would recommend the course 100 pct to anyone at all. Finally regards to all your family and apologies for
this late e-mail. Kind Regards Keith Martin Sunscot and Company Hong Kong Phone

(852) 9467-036 LMFL Musical Summer course 01/08/2006 Dear Arlette Just a short e-mail to say thank
you to your husband for such a wonderful week at The course I really enjoyed meeting so many
new and wonderful people and it was great to have the opportunity to work
with William and conduct the orchestra. I did give Ashley some photo's but since
coming home I have edited and improved many of my pictures. I will post you a CD of them so you can
use them if you need to. Once again thank you. Every blessing Alan Combes Conducting Course 01/08/2006 Dear Arlette Just to say thank you for allowing Stefan the Anne-Sophie
Herrenschmidt Scholarship Without it he would not have been able to come He had a wonderful time and made some wonderful friends He also grew extremely fond of both Jean-Luc Borsarello and
Alain Villard and was very sad to say good-bye to both. When he got home he has a letter from his piano treachery,
who is 84 years old saying that he passed Grade 7 piano with distinction,
which was wonderful because he has only been playing the piano for the past
2and half years. He was so sad to leave everyone that Saturday; I n fact I
‘ve never seen Stefan so upset, he fell asleep in the car, tears still
running down his face. It was a log journey home and we arrived back late at
3.30am. We cannot say thank you enough, Arlette. You do a wonderful
job. We are trying to save every hard for next year because I
know how much Stefan wants to come back. We all enjoyed the concert very much, it was a lovely
evening and very emotional because Stefan was about playing his violin
without score and also he ‘s never played the piano in public before, because
he never though he was good enough. It was a very
difficult thing for him to do, but he did it and we thought very well Best wishes Glenn, Barry and Stefan Spencer Kingsley Stoke on Trent Dear Arlette, . In Italian we say: abbiamo fatto una
esperienza molto arricchente. Stefania Jade Trucchi Main course and Peter Pan Course Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to work with
some of the most internationally respected musicians and for giving me the
honour of teaching such adorable children! Hi
Arlette,
How are you after another summer course? I hope you are feeling well and you are resting. I am only writing few words to let you know how happy I have felt this year there.
Personally
I think it has been the best year in all aspects. I am not only happy
because I really have worked hard
(something I enjoy doing it), but because the quality of the concerts. I think the teachers concert has been the best in all these years, quality pieces and short (the idea of including Letizia in it I think it was great and I hope she continues singing in the teachers concert in future summer courses). Also the kids concert was great, the idea of doing one for the Peter Pan Course before lunch was fantastic as good as living for after dinner the best students.
I do not have any negative point (apart of the food) about the musical part, I can see how every year is improving and getting better this course and it is nice. I think the rest of the teachers are excellent and I am very fond of Jean Luc (great man and person). I
Well I wrote more that few words, but to resume I want to congratulate you and every body who has helped you in the success of this years summer school and I hope the future brings more joy, fun and happiness to you and the summer course.
Yours friendly Inigo Alonso Viribay Dear Arlette, Dear Agnès, This was my 4th time in The course Every year is different: the weather,
the number of students, the teachers, the program, ... All
that may vary except one thing: 15 days of intense work in a very
friendly and congenial atmosphere. For those who were not with us, here is a summary
of these 15 days. - The weather: what an English weather! 30° C
every day and 34°C (the highest temperature in record in England) one day.
I'll remember that because of the beautiful "coup de soleil" I have
got. - The swimming pool: thank God there was a
swimming pool; very useful when we got 15 minutes between 2 rehearsals or
lessons. - The pub: not enough time to go to
compare the atmosphere of ALL the pubs around Frensham - Tea time:"some" times it was preceded
or replaced by cup washing sessions in (men) lavatories. - The food/ catering: Very good for a diet. I
never ate such a lot vegetables and oranges in 15 days! - The accommodation: we already knew
that Frenham Heights is not a 4 star hotel but we were very lucky
in the main building: the room was clean, no spider in the shower, and
the must: hot water! - We’ve got a lot of new friends: wasps. I
don't understand why you invited so many wasps this year, and I
forgot the instrument they played. Thank you Arlette and Agnès for
having managed that so well for over one hundred people. Now, I am (back to work) in Paris: 17 °C (hard to
believe that we are in August!), tired but happy to have spent my
holidays working hard with Sarah Pool (classical singing), Letizia
Morelli (jazz singing), Cedric Pytel (percussions), and Edwin Rolles (chamber
choir and choir). See you next year! Tatiana - Paris 40+ years old (classical and jazz singing,
percussions) Philippe 40+ piano with Rustem Koudoyarov Chère
Arlette, Encore
un fois merci. Stefano
il est un petit peu fatigué cette année... je crois qu'il a bien vécu ces
deux semaines à The course Gino est très très content et sa femme
aussi. Marco
est enthousiaste, comme Vittoria. Je
te dois faire mes compliments pour ce que tu arrive à organiser. Tout
le monde que j'ai rencontré à Fresham était heureux, même plus que d'habitude
(et c'est difficile!). Le
voyage à été agréable, pas de problèmes. Je dois dire merci à William,
qui m'a aidé avec la recherche du taxi. Encore:
Alexander Trostiansky vient jouer à Genova en septembre, mais je ne sais pas
où et quand. Comment pourrais-je faire pour avoir des nouvelles? Merci
encore pour tout. Je
tiens beaucoup à ton amitié et a celle d'Alan. Ciao, un abbraccio Paolo Musso Main course Two sons in the main course 02/08/2006 Dear Arlette I
know it was a difficult year for you, with so many people and not enough
rooms, plus Hope you enjoy the rest of the summer - but I think we've
already had the best 2 weeks at Frensham!
