"I wanted to put down in writing how very much I enjoyed your performance for the Clifton-Passaic Chapter of Haddasah on Feb. 21. You knew what the audience wanted and you gave them the music they like. When I am in charge of a program, and we have entertainment, I like to sit in the back of the room to see the reaction of the audience. Well, the reaction to you was wonderful. Everyone seemed to be enjoying your performance. There was a wheelchair-bound woman having such a good time that when her aide came to get her, she was very reluctant to leave. You did good!"
    Mildred Gelman, Clifton Passaic Haddassah, NJ

"Our school serves children with special needs. As mandated by the the Pre-Kindegarten performance standard, Robin's performance enabled the children to engage in a variety of personal creative movements and functional physical movement individually and in a large group, instrumental in exercising and developing large and small muscles. Our children and the attending adults enjoyed Robin's performance. She encouraged children and adults to get up and participate by clapping, dancing, twisting, jumping and repeating music lyrics."
Florence Massey, Principal, AHRC Francis of Parola Pre-School, Brooklyn, NY

"Thanks so much for the very special music made during our dinner on Sept. 22. The songs were so appropriate for this group of Barnard grads. Your music was so outstanding that some of us just had to get up and dance (not bad for septennarians). You received many kudos from our guests."
Marilyn Rosenblatt, President, Barnard College Club of New York, NY
