Hiya Andy! I was on the course last year (do you remember me???) and it was awesome. I recently did my grade 8 and got a distinction, its all down to you!!! Thank you for all the advice that you gave me and for helping me switch mouth pieces from that awful one to my now amazing one! I cant come this year as I am going to Belarus, but I hope to come next year!!! Say hi to Sandra and the twins from me!

Dear Sandra,

I want everyone who views your sight to know what an extraordinarily kind person you are. You gave me faith in human-kind when things were pretty tough. I am sure having such dear children as Steffi and Charlotte will make you a perfect mother as well.

Best Wishes,

Linda

Hi Sandra & Andrew
Its Barbara - a quick mind jogger for you both - I was the Cor Anglais player in the MYO back in the 80's - God that sounds ages ago!!

I stumbled accross your site and I am so glad I did to hear your fantastic news.. Congrats to you both on the birth of two very beautiful babies...
I am sure they will bring endless amounts of fun .. I'm just wondering which one will be the viola player and which one the clarinetist ..??!!!

All my love

Hi Sandra and Andrew (and beautiful girls!),

Just wanted to extend my congratulations on the birth of your girls, they are so beautiful. Brian guided me to your site and I am ever so happy that he did. My best wishes to all of you. Take care. Jenna

Jenny from England wrote on April 24. 2003, 14:47:

Hi Andy

Stumbled across your site! You use to teach me in the 80s at Culcheth High School. I am still playing and have recently taken up the piano too!

Great site and congratulations on the birth of your daughters.

Hi Sandra & Andrew,

Love the photos of your delightful little girls. Despite the lack of sleep you look as if you're thriving on parenthood.

Hope you got the card OK.

Love

Susie Poppitt

Jill Segal from England wrote on February 5. 2003, 14:57:

Dear Sandra and of course Andrew

I don't know whether the RLPO forwarded the ecard we sent to you. Clark Rundell has given us a progress report and now I have located the photos of the girls too. They look wonderful and blossoming - we all at Connaught wish you great happiness as the 'instant' family.

With love

Jill Segal and Patrick Allen, Ann and Neil

How are you Andy?

Can't believe I haven't signed this already.

I attended the Summerschool in 2000. Then, I had some fundamental embourchure and technical problems. Now I am training with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. The course speaks for itself- START SAVING.

Les Craven from Wales wrote on October 24. 2002, 02:49:

Hi Andy - Its about time you had a link to my site and a rather more fetching photo of yours truly instead of that ghastly mauve thing - and the Rubbish Bin!!

Really Hope to see lots of old and New faces on the 2003 course Good luck with fatherhood and welcome to poverty!!

B.J. from England wrote on October 22. 2002, 16:42:

Ronan Durnin from Northern Ireland wrote on April 19. 2002, 18:35:

Hi guys,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a DECENT recording of the Horovitz sonatina? I have a recording by a well known clarinettist, but it's crap!(Is there any chance of you recording it, Andy?!)

Janet Crossley from England wrote on April 4. 2002, 21:16:

It's a great site with lots of really useful info! Speaking from experience, the Summer School is great, and it's lots of fun! You gain experience by listening to what Professionals have to say about your playing, and you learn by listening to other students. You will come away with new ideas and perspectives on playing - I guarantee it!

Christian Stene from Norway wrote on March 28. 2002, 18:40:

Hi Andy! Very nice site you got here. I look forward to see what more you will be adding in the future. Wish you all the best with this years clarinet course. I am sure it will be just as successfull as when I attended.

Best regards,
Christian Stene

Caroline Wheeler from England wrote on March 25. 2002, 16:20:

Hi, nice site, thanks for all the info!
Oh, I have been told to plug the Summer School to everyone reading this, I went last year and it was great fun but we all learnt heaps too, and I was inspired to practise loads so come along this year!
P.S. Andy is my clarinet teacher (he is fab, we worship him!) and no, he didn't pay me to write that!!

Excellent Andy! Every time I come back for a look at your site there's something new - and a guestbook to sign too, what a great idea. Hope to see you again in July.

Best wishes,

Lynne

PS. Let me know when you're doing a masterclass/workshop here in the south-west. Cheers Andy!

Ronan Durnin from Northern Ireland wrote on February 23. 2002, 01:48:

This is a really useful site! Nice one Andy!! found the link to the Kooiman thumbrests particularly useful since I suffer from/have been suffering from occasional severe problems with both thumbs (Ive been suffering from 'suspected' rheumatoid arthritis for some time) Having read about the thumbrests, I would definitely consider getting one. Can I also take this opportunity to suggest the following link: www.ocr.sneezy.org This is another useful clarinet site.I also intend to go on the course this year!!
