Letters from Past PPYCC Participants

RE: 2005 Summer Workshop

Leonard,
Hi, I am writing to say thank you so much for holding the PPYCC. It was great. It must have been hard work to put all that together, and it was all very much appreciated. I went there with so many questions and I wanted to do so much with my composition. My questions were answered and there were always people there to help me when I needed help. I am getting ready to play my composition at a Heritage Fesitval in Estes Park in Aug. I am excited to perform it again. I am going to play it as a solo piano piece this time.

Thank you again and please keep me posted on any composition events that might be happening in the future. I am excited for next year's PPYCC.
