Dear Mr. Chaney,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak to our Aspring Musicians Club. It was great learning more about the "Masters" from you.

I particularly enjoyed learning more about the German composers. It is amazing that so many of the great musicians (Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, and Richard Wagner) are all from Germany. It is my goal continue my study of music at the Staatliche Hochschule fur Musik Rheinland in Germany once I graduate from college.

Your insights into what it takes to make it as a professional musician were also enlightening for our members. Those of us who want to become professional musicians know we have to rededicate ourselves to that goal if we are going to be successful.

Thank you again for sharing your expertise with our club.

Sincerly,

Stephen R. Knowles AMC Member
