Dear Guitar Salon,
I wanted to write to you to thank you for the wonderful treatment of numerous students of mine.
As you can imagine, students in a beginning classical guitar class at a high school most times will have very poor instruments when they start. When some of those students go on to my advanced classes part of what I do is try to convince the students and parents that a step up in instrument quality is a good investment.
Since I first explored Guitar Salon as an option for this two years ago, until now when I send my students to you with confidence, you have helped do wonderful things for my program. All of the hard work in the world would not sound good on a bad instrument.
I appreciate your patience with my students, and their parents, in explaining the guitars, workmanship, aspects of sound quality and playability, and generally treating these young students with respect throughout the process.
It has been such a pleasure to work closely with David Collett who has been a great help not only with my students, but with the building of my CD and print guitar reference library at the school. Thanks David. Thanks also to David Tate who has also spent time with my students looking for guitars.
I would like to thank Tim Miklaucic, the owner, for his support of pre-college guitar education in general. I could not include in this letter the things he has done, and offered to do, to help with not only my program, but the effort to include such programs in other schools as well.
Thanks as well for the tangible support for the concert in which we hosted Dimitri Illarionov last year.
It has been a pleasure working with all of you. I look forward to more in the future. Thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
Gregg Goodheart
