☆Dearest my favorite teacher , Elisabeth !
How have you been ?
I wish I had written to you sooner .
I'm sorry that I have been very busy ...
I hope you're doing well .
I have done my live performances in September and October
without any troubles .
I tried "Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)" ,
"My Romance " and " All Of Me with scat "which you taught me .
My audience said that these three songs suited me very well !!!
They said my voice has changed
after I had taken your lessons in N.Y.C..
Everyone thinks that
it's because of the fruits of Ms. Elisabeth Lohninger's lessons .
I'm going to practice "How High The Moon " and " At Last"
which you taught me for my next performance in January .
I have had a strong influence from you .
I'm always thinking about you ,
listening to your CDs and MDs ...
I look at your photos every day and
you give me the power of singing .
You're the most marvelous singer to me !
I deeply appreciate the fact that I met you .
You're my only teacher in the world forever ...
By the way ,
I'm going to N.Y.C. next August
for taking your private lessons again .
I'm really looking forward to seeing you soon again .
My best wishes to your husband , Walter !!
So much love for you ,
Your student ,

★hello yuko
it is very nice to hear from you.
thank you for your update on your progress,
i am glad that your audience recognizes the great progress
that you have made.
i am looking forward to working with you again next summer!
i am doing very well,
recently i had a concert at the jazz standard,
which you visited when you were here.
it was a wonderful success!
if you like, please feel free to go to my website
where i posted a few pictures from that event on the gallery page.
i have a bit of an unusual question for you.
please feel free to just say no,
if you feel that this is inappropriate,
but as i have told you before,
i would love to perform in japan.
as it is very difficult to book a tour with my band from the US,
i am looking for representation in japan through a booking agency.
would you know of any booking agencies
that i might be able to contact?
any information is greatly appreciated.
if you don't, please don't worry.
i hope you are doing well
and are continuing to grow as a vocalist
and as an artist!
good luck with all your endeavors!
peace
your teacher

☆Dearest my teacher , Elisabeth !
Thank you so much for your e-mail .
I'm very happy to receive your reply !
I saw your photos on your web site .
It's exciting and wonderful !!
I really wanted to see your live concert .
I wish I could be there ...
I think "The Jazz Standard "in N.Y.C. is
very good for your atmosphere .
I like there .
I'd love you to come to Japan !!!
But I'm sorry that I'm not a pro in a music world ,
so I don't know how to invite you ...
I told Ms. Hiromi Shimizu about you ,
who owns "Jazz ・ On Top" with her husband
in Osaka , Japan .
She is also a jazz vocalist and speaks English very well .
She is going to N.Y.C. between November 25th and 30th .
She'll perform at " Blue Note " as a Sunday brunch
on November 27th ,
and "Bird land " in the evening of November 29th .
Do you remember Ms. Emiko Tada who is a jazz pianist
I have told you before .
She is my new teacher in Japan .
She also know about you because I have told .
Her husband is a famous drummer in Japan .
They also go to N.Y.C. with Ms. Hiromi Shimizu .
If you have free time ,
could you go there to meet and ask them .
They are pros in a music world ,
so they may know booking agencies .
If you could , I'll contact them .
And do you know Ms. Nicole Henry who is a jazz vocalist ?
She has come to "Jazz・ On Top " in Osaka , Japan
with Eddie Higgins Trio .
She is popular in Japan .
I saw her CD next to your CD at "55 Bar " in N.Y.C..
Or do you know Mr. Kuni Mikami who is a jazz pianist ?
I don't know about him but I met him once
at "Bird land " in N.Y.C. this August .
He is a member of Duke Ellington Orchestra .
I've heard that when he comes back to Japan ,
he introduces musicians from N.Y.C..
I'm afraid that I can give you only these small information .
I'd like to hear from you .
Good luck !
With love ,
Your student ,
