| Tianjiao International Education Group has helped us prepare a fantastic music tour to Beijing and Tianjin. The educational experience was one that I will never forget. There was an incredible balance of history, culture, language and social interaction. The venues of our concerts were truly amazing which helped to make our performances that were meaningful. I really appreciated being able to interact in the “hands -on” activities, Tai- ji lessons, dumpling making, and especially the lunch with our Chinese family in the Hu Tong house. The performance on the Great Wall of China was certainly a highlight of my career and in my opinion, the best part of the trip was being able to extend our goodwill as ambassadors of the US and make some impact on the relief efforts to help the victims of the Szechwan earthquakes. Our memories will last a lifetime and I am looking forward to our next trip to China. |

I just wanted to say that this was one phenomenal experience here in China with the entire Music Department. I will cherish every memory here with all of the many, many talented musicians, supportive chaperones, and parents that helped contribute to the trip. I am so grateful to have you as my teacher and I appreciate your efforts in making this visit one exceptional experience. I will continue to practice my musicianship and I hope I will be able to see you next year in 08-09. It has been a good one. |

Dear Tianjiao,
Thank you so much for allowing me to learn about the history and culture of Beijing and China. Playing at the Great Wall and at the benefit for the earthquake is just the experiences that I will definitely share with others for the rest of my life. This truly was an exchange of music culture and I am privileged to have visited this beautiful country! |
