"I want you to know that your Tot Shabbat elective at Hava Nashira 2004 was a wonderfully useful and inspirational session. It has been over six months since Hava Nashira and I still refer back to that session regularly. I have incorporated many of your thoughts and techniques into the services and other singing that I do with the children (and parents) at my temple, Shir Shalom. You both exuded a love of Judaism, children and music that comes shining through. Your ability to model terrific ways to share those loves with others helps people like me when we return to our congregations. All of this, and your music is a blast!"
Joe Firestone, Songleader, Southfield, MI

"On behalf of the Religious School and the Temple, I'd like to thank you for a wonderful weekend. Your energy and enthusiasm are infectious and a great time was had by all who were fortunate enough to attend. We hope you come visit us again."
Judy Alexander, Education Director, Temple Sinai, Burlington, VT

"A great big thank-you to Peter and Ellen for an engaging morning filled with swinging, swaying and stamping. One hundred thirty-five Jewish educators gathered together to share the Allard's enthusiasm for music and their love of Judaism. Their style energized us, as well as giving practical ideas that can be incorporated into our classroom activities."
Gail Weinstein, Director, B'nai Israel Nursery School, Bridgeport, CT

"The evaluations of your workshop sessions were superlative and it was delightful to read them. Each year the conference is attended by about 1,500 early childhood educators from the greater New York region. Many of those teachers and parents will be singing, playing and rejoicing with their children. We thank you and "sing" your praises."
Cheryl Meskin, Director, Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York

"Your style of performing is totally entertaining, captivating and stimulating. Together you "grab" the room, full attention and participation is part of everyone's experience. Thank you for making our Teacher Recognition Shabbat so joyous and meaningful. Keep singing and spreading the joy of music in early childhood settings. We are huge fans!"
Susan Alpert, Director, Central Synagogue Nursery School, New York, NY

"Your presentation was educational as well as entertaining and you gave many of the teachers in our community invaluable information to take back to their classrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed having you here. You are a terrific couple, both professionally and personally. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to the opportunity to work together again."
Wendy Sadler, Director School Services, Agency for Jewish Education, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

"For me, the highlight of our weekend with you was the teacher workshop. In a very creative and non threatening way, you led the teachers through a process of looking at ourselves as part of something larger and more important than our individual interests and concerns. You helped our entire staff feel closer to one another and I believe you motivated each and every one of us to work a little harder to help each other. The response of the teachers was unanimously positive, something that is rare for us."
Gail Simon, Director of Education, Temple B'nai Israel, Clearwater, FL

"We want to express our sincere thanks to you for sharing your time and talent with us to open our pre-conference session. Your music filled the rooms and hearts and souls of all who attended."
