Testimonials

Ellen Johnston is one of the best teachers I have ever known. Her years as an experienced musician and detailed knowledge of liturgy infuse new life into any worship setting. She did a three part teaching series on Celtic worship with my congregation. By the end of our time together she had us all doing an Irish jig! That was a spectacular accomplishment.

- The Rev. April Greenwood, Rector, Westover Episcopal Church, Charles City, VA
