Thank you Leon for two years of productive music-making. I have come out of this course appreciating music in ways I haven’t before. And I think this is because of your ability to find unique ways to interpret music, your willingness to explore vast repertoire, and your story-telling abilities in explaining music history in such a compelling manner. I wish you and your family all the best and I hope you continue to teach and inspire more students to strive for beautiful life with music.
