Thank you so much for the help every Thursday! It really helped our section as a whole. I appreciate your help a lot. You really assisted us in practicing our runs and getting everything under our fingers! I hope to see you this summer for some lessons. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing knowledge about the flute! God bless. - Hannah
Thank you so much for the last four years of lessons you have given me. You have helped my playing and my personality. I have moved from gold band all the way to Wind Ensemble, and I owe it to you. I also scored my first I rating at Solo and Ensemble this year – thanks to all of your help. Again, I thank you and hope that you can help your other students as much as you have helped me! - Jenny
Thank you for teaching me for all these years and for helping to improve my playing. I hope to carry that knowledge with me next year as I continue playing at University of Rochester. Thanks again for all your help.” Love, Kristin

Taylor, a second-grade student commenting during her lesson
Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me in the past six years. I’ve been so happy to have a teacher who is always helpful, even in areas completely separate from music. You’ve challenged me to always continue to improve and I know I owe my growth to you. Thank you for helping me reach this point, and making me excited to reach even higher! Love Kelsey
Thank you for your exquisite music at our wedding ceremony and reception. It was all so beautiful. Every guest we talk to mentions the wonderful music. It was such a gift to us. Our friends loved the Beatles’ selections. Jim and I thought all the music was great. We look forward to listening to your music again.
We just wanted to drop a line to let you both know how grateful we are for what you did for us for our wedding. The music was beautiful and made our ceremony everything we dreamed of. We received many compliments how lovely everything was. You both have such a talent for your respective instruments. We admire those that are able to create such beauty....mainly because we have no musical talents! And thanks for joining us at our rehearsal dinner reception. We hope you enjoyed yourselves! See you around church!
Many thanks, Luisa & Sean

Just a note of thanks for the GLORIOUS music the last three weeks at Broad Street. The soft jazz, followed by the [Faure] Requiem, followed by last Sunday’s music. Wow! We don’t need the spoken word when the music speaks SO powerfully about God’s mystery, majesty, and love. Jim - your organ work is always fine – but the month of May was really special. Valorie’s clear, lyrical flute makes it twice as good. What a privilege to share in your music.
Gratefully, Jane
BRAVO to the Recital ! ! ! [flute, violin, and keyboard] I'm glad I was free to come to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much work! I'm sending a program to Mary Sue, organist and my piano teacher in Sugarcreek!

Miriam Weber Brown (Harpist) and Valorie Adams-Hildreth (Flutist) were absolutely fabulous! My husband and I got married in June 2013 at the Greek Orthodox Church. Miriam was incredibly helpful and responsive during the wedding planning process. She played live samples for me over the phone, mailed a CD of sample music and answered all of our questions. Everyone was talking about the beautiful music at our ceremony. We couldn't be more pleased!

Thank you for playing at April and TJ’s wedding. It was beautiful! I appreciate your willingness, time and wonderful talent in adding your flute to the wedding and reception. Your solos for the ceremony added a lot to the classical style of the music. The organ, vocal, and your flute solos were just the touch we were after to set the mood for a classic style wedding. Your Trio also captured the “flavor” we were hoping for at the reception. It was wonderful!! Please thank your group for me.”
