“
Gary. Thanks again for your time with my kids. It’s amazing. Their
hand position, posture and effort have improved. Sometimes it just takes
someone from the outside to give them a kick-start. You are welcome
here anytime.” “
What you do is very good for the kids and you work with them very well.
Your presentation was very informative and very well done. The kids
love listening to what you play and how you developed your background
music.” “We
as band directors always search for new solutions to inspire students
to practice the technical things that are boring. Well here it is a
solution that can bring it home for the student! Mr. Dilworth’s
presentation has inspired me to pursue this thing called MIDI . . .we
can create our own accompaniments for our students. With little effort,
we can also be facilitators to guide our students in the exploration
of music theory and composition.” |

“The
students at Mira Loma were completely impressed with you. They are asking
questions and are inspired to practice. Wow, what a great experience
for all.” “
My students were really intrigued by your presentation of how to use
technology to make practicing less tedious . . .What a wonderful tone
model you presented for our students! I sincerely appreciate your being
able to work into our time constraints, and your patience and consideration
of where my students are and gearing your presentation to their needs.
I thought your having the students play along was a wonderful part of
the clinic.” “
Gary Dilworth’s clinic was excellent. My students were amazed
at the level of his performance. Both the middle school and the high
school groups were actively engaged for the full 45 minutes. In my view,
the most important result of the clinic was the interest Gary generated
in the students. They were given enough to start them off, but are interested
enough now to pursue the topics on their own.” |
