For me this week-long session was one of the richest learning opportunities I have had as an adult, and I have had some good ones. But here’s the difference: I am grateful to have worked with people who walk their talk about personal development. This was simply some of the finest teaching I have ever experiences. I thank you.

Also would like to thank you for this excellent way of teaching beginners or children. I am a senior, and at almost 64 years I can only say how much I am enjoying this journey,have 2 harps and have played around with them for last two years; and now look forward to the possibility of becoming a facilitator in the future. So thank you very much Christina Tourin.

Hold On To Your Dream - Author Unknown
There's a voice that callsto some of us
From somewhere deep inside
A voice that will not give us peace,
Until at least we've tried
To catch that bright elusive star,
Though foolish it may seem
To those not driven as we are
To hold on to a dream.
It's not just thoughtsof fame or wealth
That keep us hanging on
When others would have given up,
When all but hope is gone.
When sometimes even hope grows dim
And casts its faintest beam,
We wonder if it's worth it all
To hold on to a dream.
And then that voice inside of us
That others cannot know
Tells us that our chance will come,
That we must not let go.
If we can only persevere
Someday our star till gleam!
And they'll know why we had to try
To hold on to our dream.

I am wondering how to thank you adequately for the amazing 10 days I have just spent in San Diego. You, your music and your course, gave me a lifetime of inspiration and experience in that brief time we spent together - I will remember it for the rest of my life. I know that this is just the beginning of a new life unfolding. Thanks too, for bringing us all together - such an amazing group of students and teachers, each person inspirational in their own way. I could say much more, and will complete my evaluation form as soon as I can. but for now, as I move through this transitional stage of returning to my daily life, I just wanted to thank you with all my heart for making it all possible.

I have been devouring your book. It is a masterpiece of what you have been working on for years. And it is stunning. Thank you for your hard work in harp therapy. It is indeed a therapeutic approach to working with people, and also in working with music. It has opened new ideas in music for me, and I am sure I am not alone.

I have had several e-mails from people about the workshop yesterday and how much they enjoyed it. It was truly excellent. Several people commented that they learned more yesterday than they had from weeks of study with various other teachers.
Now I am continuing to study the 5 selected songs from the Healing Music book. I just love how simply you write these songs, I thank you for being so creative with them.

After watching the first and second DVDs in your series I was just delighted. I've gone from being a hesitant, pessimistic "plodder" with my harp and practicing to an enthusiastic, joyful apprentice. Even with decades of performance anxiety since childhood piano and critical mother, I actually volunteered to play for the people waiting on the long line for peaches at our Farmer's market the other day. Quite amazing!

I have always admired the way you play - every note is special and meaningful in your music.
Just got in from Christina's concert in Windsor, Ontario. What an uplifting and gratifying experience... and what a truly wonderful person she is! If anyone out there gets a chance to experience her concerts or workshops, don't let the opportunity pass you by.

I so enjoyed your teaching at the first module of the Bedside Harp Program.I left for home that day with so much joy, couldn't contain myself.I also was able to finish a composition I've been working on by implementing patterns that you taught us.
