Thank you for being such a meaningful part of my daughter’s year. You truly got her—your stories, sense of humor, and encouragement kept her engaged, and your teaching helped her grow so much as a flute player.

We’re grateful for the way you brought both structure and fun to her musical journey. It made a difference.

Dear Mr. Johnson,

You are one of those one in a million teachers who makes a lasting impact on his students. You are a big reason why Xavi chose Manhattan. It shows that you love what you do, and that translates in big ways to the kids. Thank you for all of your hard work and patience - you are really great what you do!

Warmly,

Thank you for being fun and engaging. You are my son's favorite teacher. Added bonus - I had no idea middle school band concerts could be so much fun (and I was in middle school band)! We think about you every time we have soup.

Thank you!

Thanks for going the extra mile for making music fun for the kids by allowing them to explore different instruments and styles, making opportunities for them to play for their communities and families, and bringing your special brand of humor. Teachers make or break a student's experience with a subject, and we're grateful for your approach to music!

I was thinking of not doing another orchestra class after seventh grade when I joined your class. You and your relaxed and fun class environment made me change that. The music you pick is always challenging, but really fun when I eventually get the hang of it. I want to be able to write a music piece(or pieces) I'll love playing someday. I signed up for music focus so I can (hopefully) do that. You are an amazing teacher.

Thank you so much for all that you do day in and day out working with the students and notably the musicians and theater actors. You infuse song which brings joy to each and every artist. What a gift that keeps giving!
