To Whom It May Concern

Reference for Richard Silvester

Richard provided guitar tuition in my school for two years and I was very impressed by his musical ability and the way in which his enthusiasm for guitar playing was passed on to the children.

The children all did very well.  Richard worked both in small groups and individually, with some pupils making exceptional progress.

Evening concerts for parents encouraged the children to show off their guitar skills and Richard was always there to encourage and support them.

Richard was reliable, trustworthy and punctual.  He was always pleasant and courteous towards everyone.

I was sorry to lose Richard as I was pleased with his music tuition here and with the progress his pupils made.

Yours faithfully

Dear Richard,

Just to say thanks for all the guitar lessons over the summer, I've really enjoyed them and can't believe how much I got out of them! I should be back in Hull Oct 22nd, would be great to have a lesson around then if that's possible.
Thanks again, hopefully see you soon
