“We Loved It! From the moment it started, we were captured by the beautiful and dramatic dance of voice and synthesized tones, which were particularly beautiful, complex and warm.
And Maureen, it was a pleasure to finally hear your instrument! You make it seem effortless, jumping difficult intervals to land perfectly on each new note, and with such dynamic sensitivity and lovely phrasing.
Unlike many electronic pieces, we were particularly pleased at how well the voice and synthesis danced together as a well-integrated whole. . . .
In short, we loved it!”

Parent's comment on her Son's Study with me:
Jinping zhao - Phil Li's Mom
2015. Dear Maureen,
My son was very, very happy when he returned from your home on Saturday. He told me since he came to the United States 2 years ago, it was his happiest day and he wanted to hug you. He felt you gave him so much help and showed him a path to pursue his dreams. You brought him great confidence and the courage to realize his dreams. I could see his excitement and he is prepared to pay you back by really working hard for his lessons. I really want to thank you for your generosity!
…… Phil is now in college pursuing a career in composition.
Best wishes,
Jinping

Your "Voices", simply magical, with a superb soprano performance! I am so glad that I could be there, and am so pleased that my students all reacted so incredibly positive to the lecture and concert."

We had mainly come to hear your piece "Voices".We loved it! From the moment it started, we were captured by the beautiful and dramatic dance of voice and synthesized tones, which were particularly beautiful, complex and warm. And Maureen, it was a pleasure to finally hear your instrument! You make it seem effortless, jumping difficult intervals to land perfectly on each new note, and with such dynamic sensitivity and lovely phrasing. Unlike many electronic pieces, we were particularly pleased at how well the voice and synthesis danced together as a well-integrated whole.
In short, I loved it!
