"I played the piano for Elizabeth regularly for several years. Over those years, I found her to be exceptionally artistic, deeply committed to music education, and a clear and thorough communicator--both musically and inter-personally. She is easy to work with on a daily basis and it is a joy and honor to perform with her."

"Elizabeth created a choral teacher mentoring program that was not only comprehensive in scope, but also immensely constructive and collaborative. Through consistent dialogues and check-ins, Elizabeth instilled in me a mental framework through which I can now anticipate challenges that may arise in rehearsals, solve those issues, and brainstorm teaching strategies that help my students make rewarding progress."

"Elizabeth Woodhouse is a nurturing musical mentor. She knows how to work with teachers of varying skills and experiences. She provided an exemplary model of musical excellence, community building, and understanding. After co-teaching with her for almost two years, I am able to set clear goals for my students, I have a better understanding of the concept of the choir as a community, and I carry with me standards of excellence that I share with my students.
I did not have any experience working with students who did not have any prior singing or musical literacy experience. Elizabeth modeled patience and setting students up for success through developing rapport with her students, engaging them through various activities, and her different pacing methods. Elizabeth gave me room to explore new things as a teacher."
