'... Her lively enthusiasm, sense of enjoyment in music and expertise communicated themselves very well to the students, to parents in the audience at the showcase performance, and to SA professional tutors alike. I heard many favourable
remarks regarding Abigail's work and know her rehearsal session was full of plenty of good substance while engaging the children's interest. A variety of musical styles and techniques were explored cleverly and engagingly during
her session'

''Abigail Dance is as passionate and dedicated a musician as you will ever find. Add her natural talent for all things musical and you will have some idea of what she brings to everything she does.''
James Wolff, singer songwriter www.jameswolff.com
“The workshop, led by vivacious violinist and viola player, Abigail Dance was a fantastic experience.. The choice of musical repertoire, the innovative games and the highest standard of performance gave way to an afternoon of sheer enjoyment and inspiration.”
Amy Cunningham, The Strings Club www.thestringsclub.org
“Abi is as delightful to listen to from the audience as she is to play with as a fellow musician. She is among the most confident and poised players I have had the pleasure to work with, injecting a group with her characteristic energy and enthusiasm from the first note. She always amazes us with her incredibly intuitive musicianship, inimitable leadership and instant ability to gel with any group on any repertoire.”
Ursula Sagar, Vaults Quartet www.vaultsquartet.co.uk & Sinfonia Tamesa Orchestra www.sinfoniatamesa.org.uk
“Listening to Abi play so beautifully and sitting alongside her as she led the orchestra, I was as much impressed with her musicianship as I felt encouraged by her guidance as the leader. It was the inspiration that Abi provided by her unending energy and enthusiasm that the violin plays such an important part of my life again. I thoroughly recommend her to you as a musician, teacher and colleague”
Kakoly Pande Chamber Academy Orchestra member www.chamberacademy.co.uk
“Abi is a dedicated, passionate and selfless teacher, musician and inspirer. She has an innate ability to recognise the appropriate teaching method needed for all different learner types and can quickly create a lasting, mutually respectful bond with those whom she works. An impeccable violinist, her determination to achieve musical excellence for her pupils and within her own creative development mean that she constantly strives to reach new levels of professionalism, an asset valuable to all that she has worked with.”
Nicole McNeilly Former Director at Musicares Sri-Lanka
“Abi makes an exceptional tutor for the Leatherhead Quartet Study Days. She offers stimulating insights into the music, is well prepared, knows what she would like to achieve and articulates her thoughts simply and clearly. Always cheerful and patient, she commands the respect of all the participants... Great improvements are achieved in a short time and the participants go home full of encouragement and eagerly anticipating the next session. I would thoroughly recommend her as a coach and tutor.”
