Dear Ms Koshka, I was very pleased to hear that your quintet is willing to perform for us. I am sure it will be a memorable morning for all the pupils concerned, as for so many of them the opportunity to hear 'good music' is not available at home. I look forward to meeting you and your fellow musicians on that day. Yours Sincerely. Acting Headteacher. The Priory Comprehensive School Orpington.

Dear Ms Koshka, I wish to thank you for coming to our school and playing for the children, both in the music club, with the orchestra and your master class. Many of the children have since taken up the violin and have been trying out your techniques. Your wonderful playing and such beautiful sound made such an impression on all of us. The atmosphere you created was so uplifting and you are indeed extremely charismatic. Everyones attention was fixed on you. Many parents said how excited the children were with their time spent with you. I hope that musicians like you will always inspire young people to make music. Music organizer Swalecliff.
