To whom it may concern, I am privileged to write in support of my dear friend and student, Erik Holmberg.

Erik studied in my classroom for close to three years, during which time I witnessed his tremendous growth and development. This development came not only in the area of music achievement and leadership, but in maturity and character as well. Erik was hardworking and focused in my classroom and his skill as a teacher and choir director became more and more evident the longer I worked with him. After his rst year in my choir I chose him as bass section leader and his peers chose him as choir president. During his time as choir president he was assertive in his leadership and well respected by his peers causing the quality of my students and my choir to grow exponentially. I recommend Erik to teach in your district with absolute condence. He has made me proud, as his teacher and friend, and I am sure will continue to do so as his career unfolds. Thank you for the opportunity of correspondence, Sincerely, Professor College
