"Brooke Ivins (Safford) studied piano with me for 8 years. During that time she
won numerous awards and competitions and became a very capable,
dedicated musician. God has endowed her with a special talent which
she has worked hard to develop. It is now her desire to train and
equip others in piano study, and she is certainly qualified to begin
doing this. To be an effective teacher one must be teachable
themselves and have had a thorough background---Brooke meets this
criteria and will be a very good instructor. I am honored to
recommend her as she enters this profession."

"I've been fortunate enough not only to hear Brooke play in our worship services, but also to overhear her practicing in the choir room for years. She continues to show passion, skill and discipline at the piano. It's great to see someone grow from a student to a performer, and I'm sure Brooke's talent and concern for people will serve her well as a teacher."

"I have had the pleasure of having Brooke Ivins (Safford) play the piano for me in the recent past. She has played for Life Care Center of East Ridge’s Volunteer Reception and for the small group Bible Study in which I participate. Her skill in playing a variety of music from classics requested by the volunteers and patients at Life Care to the hymns requested by the members of the Bible Study has amazed me. She is THE person I will call next time I need live musical entertainment for an event. She is always willing to accommodate our schedule and desires. She is so good working with the people in our group. Her genuine love of the piano and, more importantly, people clearly shows in every piece she plays. If you are looking for a piano teacher or entertainer, you couldn’t ask for a more God inspired and gifted young lady."
