Dear Pat (and Mister Vic), We wanted to say thank you for another great season of classes.  It's just so cool to see how much he continues to grow within and outside of class.  It's truly a testament to how much fun and engaging you make class.  He has always loved coming home to sing the songbooks, play his instruments, and dance to the CD's--how he's starting to "play" class!  He'll make a circle using a dog leash when we're playing outside, will use the logs as a stage and then will sit, tap his knees, and begin "Hello."  Just last week he was so excited with the Walking Song--he loves elephants and hippos--so he already likes the song because of the pictures.  Then he thought it was great you had everyone pretending to be animals.  Even though he made me carry him in class, he made Mike and my parents do it as soon as they walked in from work!  "Pop, walk like an elephant!"...of course, with no content : )  Thank you again for class and the fall events!

Pat, It's hard to put into words how grateful I am to have been a part of music class for almost nine years!  You are an amazing teacher and person.  We are so blessed to have found you!  The kids and I have always looked forward to Fridays because of you!  Thank you so much for being you--bringing music, smiles, love and joy every day.  I will miss our Friday classes as much as the kids (ok-maybe more!!)

The other day I took Charlie to a gymnastic class. While he liked it and seemed happy, I was noticing such a difference between the way the teacher dealt with the kids and parents/grandparents and your way of being with kids and families. It made me feel so appreciative of you and your style, I decided that we should sign up for ONE MORE TIME. Am going to do that right now!!!!

Subject: MGH Thanks

Dear Vic:

Thank you again for the extraordinary musical performance today at Mass General Hospital for Children. Through your wonderful music you brightened a sometimes painful and often sad and scary hospital stay for several very appreciative children. Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to really make a difference today!

Heartfelt appreciation on behalf of the Healing Arts Team of Mass General Hospital for Children,

Happy Holidays,

Mister Vic,
I can't thank you enough for the awesome entertainment that you held at Eli's birthday party. Everybody had a wonderful time. You were great. I'm hoping to see you again in the near future to give Eli music classes, so please keep me informed with your schedule or any concerts.

This is an excellent program faciliated by a talented and warm instructor. I highly recommend class with Pat Lalli.

I've done a different music class for a few sessions. Music Together is much more flexible and more loose in style. The cd is awesome. My child hasn't started "talking" but has started singing!!!

On the whole our experience was wonderful. Although my child doesn't always show her full potential during class, I see it all the time outside of class.

The class is wonderful! Every parent/caregiver should give their child this experience.

Hi, Pat,

I am just writing to let you know that we are moving out of state, and therefore will obviously not be taking future music classes with you. Sam has absolutely loved your classes and you, and I feel that he has a real passion for music as a result of our participation in your program. I can't thank you enough for the positive experience that you have given him. You really have a gift in the way you interact with the children to engage them and encourage them and make them all feel special and involved. I will miss that baby #2 will not have the same experience as Sam, but we will definitely seek music classes for her in hopes that she will share Sam's love of music. Thank you again!

Pat is a fantastic teacher! She is so incredibly responsive to my daughter and wonderful with balancing the needs of all the children in the class.

Dear Miss Pat, Thank you for helping instill the love of music in all of my children.  When I hear Sam sing perfectly on key, listen to Grace sing all the words to her favorite songs, and watch Evie dance in rhythm to the beat, I think of you and all you taught them these past six years!  You are not only a talented teacher, but also an amazing, kind, wonderful, thoughtful person who I feel lucky to call a friend...Thank you for all you have done and do to make this world a more musical and better place. We adore you and again thank you for everything.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your gift of music with our family.  It has been such a joy to sing with you and watch the kids grow in their love for music! You are so special, and we love you!

Dear Mister Vic, Thank you for teaching me to love music!
