Quotes from the written evaluations collected by the program administrators (each quote comes from a different participant):

"I've been listening to music since I was a young girl.  Based on this course, I will be able to appreciate all music on a higher level.  The teacher is extraordinary.
//
Please come back and teach more courses!  //  Actually changed my way of thinking about life.  It's been a really unusual and marvelous experience.  Thanks, and please come back.
//
I have been coming to Evergreen and Osher for many years.  This class has been refreshingly different.  I listen to music a lot and this course has inspired me to discover a new and more enjoyable way to listen.  Mr. Sapieyevski gives his all.  He has a great sense of humor.  He is wonderful.
//
The instructor's enthusiasm was contagious and he involved the students beautifully no matter what their musical background (no easy task!)
//
I loved his class because of his presentation.  He exceeded my expectations. I would take any course he taught!
//
Mr. Sapieyevski is a fabulous instructor.  His passion and excitement for music alone is what made this class so special.  When you combine this with his musical background and professional expertise, it makes for a most interesting, educational and joyful musical experience.  I hope he will be encouraged to teach more classes.  His excitement, passion is infectious and he has a wonderful sense of humor.
//
Absolutely engaging personality.  Huge surprise to find he is talented performer as well.  Class was like finding a fortune inside a cookie.  A wonderful addition.  Thanks.

Instructor was extraordinary, stimulating, and energetic.  One of the best I've ever had.
//
We were thrilled by the lectures and this course. //  Wonderful, gifted teacher. Certainly hope he will return. Would take any of his courses.
//
I most enjoyed the instructor as a talented musician. I wish he had played the piano more.  The best moments were Mr. Sapieyevski's insights interpreting Mozart's Requiem – Unforgettable!  Second great moment – "experiencing" Beethoven.
//
I enjoyed the teacher tremendously.  He is a great musician who inspired all of us in many ways that were unknown to us.
//
What a breath of fresh air!  He is terrific with an interesting style (+ remarkable ability at the piano!)"//
