• Nov. 21, 2017Leonie Adams has excellent work ethics. She arrived early and made sure she knows where she would be playing. I did not have to worry at all. The children loved watching her play at our school's Christmas fair. Thank you Leonie! If you need a reliable and talented musician, you should definitely contact her.
