Dear Nonna,

I am writing to you to tell you that I have been accepted to the Faculty of Music at Queens University and to thank you for all the support and patience which you have shown me over the last ten years.

It is because of your teaching and wisdom that I have been able to achieve my goal, and the knowledge which you have given me has helped shaped my future and my talent. I will forever be one of the many children that have looked up to you and admired you. Thank you for everything.

With all my love,

Dear Nonna,

I just wanted to thank you for being my teacher for yet another year. I love the way you teach me and how you have exposed me to different aspects of music pieces. I appreciate how you understand and respect my decisions always. I really like how our relationship has progressed over the years that now if I'm really stressed out you offer me advice and a hug.

Thanks again,
Gaby

To my dearest Nonna,

How are you? I'm so sorry I haven't been keeping in touch with you. I wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and friend. I am so grateful to have met you. I think that you are a very nice, caring and understanding person. I miss you very much! I will never forget the things you have taught me in the last 3 years. Each week I really looked forward to our lessons (even if somethimes it might have not seemed that way--due to my different moods). I have got to admit, out of all my teachers, you are the most patient, optimistic and enthusiastic one. You were and will always be my favorite teacher. I love you very much and will never forget all your kindness.

Love always,
