LMFL Reviews / Testimonials:
• "Thank you very much Daniela Pisano and Arlette H-M. It has been a beautiful experience for Carolina: she improved a lot playing the flute and also her English as she met new friends from all over the world! She has already asked me to go back next year…"

• "LMFL has developed our daughter Cedar’s confidence and drive to become a musician and given her more of an understanding of what it means to be a musician.  The encouragement, support and advice that has been given to her both at the course and outside of the course from from violin Professors Jean-Luc Borsarello, David Russell and Albert Markov has been exceptional.

A reason for choosing LMFL was the unique opportunity to work daily with speciality teachers (violin and piano) and the option to explore areas of music that Cedar does not usually engage in, such as conducting.  Cedar is fortunate to have become part of the extended musical family, you and your teaching Faculty create each year."
