Dear Stephen,

Just wanted to say a big 'THANK YOU' for all your enthusiasm, positive feedback, and great expertise with (our son) this year. He's been fortunate to be your pupil, and has learnt much about piano because of your motivation and commitment.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for teaching (my daughters) their music over the past years. (My daughter) has composed several pieces... you might like to ask her to perform them.

Thank you again.

Dear Stephen,

Thanks to your intelligence, beliefs, good humour, abilities, and rapport with child and adult alike, we have found not only the greatest music teacher we know of, but also a wonderful role model for our precious son.

We are overwhelmed at your generosity and ability to spark obvious excitement in a a boy who is normally very guarded with outward excitement.

Dear Stephen,

Yours was the first music school in NSW to use the Roland Lab, Pianos, MT-100 and PianoISM software. It has been a long road, but you've been testament to the positive results that teaching in this way produces.

Russell Cooper, Education Manager, Roland Australia

The Curriculum Studies Department purchased computers, software and accessories from Stephens Music & Computers for the use of music education lecturers and students. We did so on the recommendation of musicians and music educators who praised Stephen Walters knowledge and experience.

Based on my experience over the last 12 months I can recommend Stephens Music & Computers. Stephen has always been available for telephone advice, and has been willing to travel to Newcastle for service difficulties and help when required. His knowledge of the the hardware, the programs and the educational value of the individual programs has been of great value to this department.

Stephen Walter has assisted Swansea High School, our Regional Disadvantaged Program Committee and myself in the development of music technology and in particular computer technology since 1989. His obvious outstanding knowledge, expertise and support has been tremendous to our faculty and the Hunter Region. Through courses, regular newsletters, correspondence and phone support from Stephen, our faculty has developed into one of the leaders in the use of creative technology within the Hunter Region.

I have always found Stephen not only knowledgeable but also honest, trustworthy and patient as a creative computer consultant and teacher. He is indeed a leader in the field of creative computer education demonstrated through his expertise, experience and success. He has also displayed excellent skills in communicating his knowledge to others.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you so much for presenting the workshops on Music and Computers at the Western Region Creative Arts Conference. The participants certainly appreciated the session, and the opportunity to hear what can be achieved with computer software. Your expertise in the area, and your presentation skills were highly commended.

It is wonderful to have as a tutor someone who is both talented and enthusiastic, and can communicate that to others. The sessions certainly fulfilled the aim of the workshops, which was to give teachers new ideas and skills for the areas they teach.

Thank you again for your generous contribution of time and talent.

I highly recommend Stephen Walter as a consultant. Since the installation of our computer system a year ago I have found Mr Walter to be extremely helpful and accommodating. He is always ready to speak to me over the phone with any problem and make the effort to make a personal visit when requested in order to ensure all is operating smoothly. I have found him to be friendly, supportive, and sincere.
