Comments about the Payson flute circle:
- Big thanks to you and Tom. We had a wonderful time.
- It was nice to spend time together with your group. Probably will not be back for a few months due to other plans but look forward to attending another Payson flute circle.
- The circle was great, I was very nervous. First time playing in front of others.:
- …thinking more about the gathering this morning… I want to commend you further. The way you encouraged each player was key. At whatever place they are/were. Also I liked very much the way you brought attention to different aspects of the playing… using it as a teaching time as well as sharing time. And for any of those attending to listen only…you gave a lot of great information about what we do. Just a really good circle. Thanks again.
- An expanded comfortable conference room setting, More talented musicians from more places (Scottsdale, Sedona, Quartzite, etc.). A wide array of solo, duet, and accompanied live music. Even a small audience in attendance. All in all -*- a positive, supportive, uplifting exchange.
- We enjoyed observing and have flutes but just wanted to see what this was about. Next time we may bring our flutes…even if we are just beginners….
