JULIA'S GIFT:   Recommended to Piano Students

"There is a new CD on the market with a tantalizing title, JULIA'S GIFT, and that is exactly what it is. The repertoire is an excellent collection of important, attractive piano favorites that every student wants to play. It also brings moments of sweet nostalgia to anyone who has played them in the past. Each composition is elegantly and expressively performed by Vieland, a well-known pianist and teacher herself. I have recommended the CD to my own students."

Rosetta Goodkind, Piano Faculty, Manhattan School of Music

"I can recommend JULIA'S GIFT to my students without qualification.  The playing is exemplary and the selection of pieces are known and loved by students of all ages."

Carol Cahn, Piano Faculty, Settlement Music School, Philadelphia, PA

JULIA'S GIFT:   Perfect for the Music Classroom

"Thank you very much for the CD of your music.  My students and I will enjoy it for years to come. You are an outstanding pianist with a love for children; that is a great combination. Children, as you know, are open to all kinds of music, and your collection is proof of that; my students, ages 6-10, have thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. The short pieces and movements that you've selected fit perfectly with the way I use recorded music in my classes. Typically, I don't like to play parts of pieces because I want my students to hear works in their entirety. Your CD allows me to do that. I have a personal fondness for Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood." Your interpretations are very sensitive and skillful.  My students enjoy hearing the titles, then listening to your playing, and letting their imaginations go."

John F. Campbell, Published Composer; Teacher of Chorus and General Music at Windsor Farm Elementary School, Annapolis, Maryland

JULIA'S GIFT:   A Wonderful Anthology

"As a former pianist and teacher, I want to commend you on the selection of pieces and also on your sensitive performance.  This is a wonderful anthology for young people of all ages ~ I hope you will consider producing a series of CDs of this type."

Lolita Mayadas, Former Executive Director, National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts
