“Ellen is organized, efficient and easy to get in contact with - and a great chamber coach to boot! I always look forward to working with her.”

“As always, Ellen is the best TA HASOM [Teaching Assistant Herb Alpert School of Music] has!”

“I deeply appreciate her commitment to making this class something that benefits all students - she organized coaching for small ensembles, planned orchestra reading sessions, brought in guest speakers, split the monstrously large ensemble, and had a regular conductor for the larger ensembles...she works miracles. She definitely deserves a pay raise/professorship/presidency.”

“Ellen is a blessing to this music school and to this brass department. She is not required to do all that she does in terms of reforming the entire brass ensemble program by herself, but she does so anyway simply for the sake of the education of the students in the course.”

“Wow, could I praise Ellen highly enough? Probably not.”

“Ellen was incredibly organized and knowledgeable. She was always willing to help outside of rehearsal, and she did an excellent job of scheduling concerts, rehearsals, and communicating with ensemble members regarding course requirements.”

“Ellen is well organized, highly professional, and a great communicator. Any class with her as a TA is practically guaranteed to run well and be worth your time.”
