The one because I feel like just sitting here

Ahhhhhhhhh it is sooo nice to sit down. What a long day.

I had a recital for my students tonight. It went pretty well. I have 23 students. 21 of them played tonight and 12 of those had never played in a recital. It was scary for a bunch of them but THEY ALL DID IT!! Wahoo!! Sure, several of them goofed in spots that they'd played flawlessly 100 times before but that's what these things are for.

I remember when I was younger how terrifying it was to play in front of people... my hands would shake, my mind would go blank, ... it was the worst. Now I've done it so much it doesn't faze me.

So I do these group lessons and recitals to give the kids the experience playing for people. It gets easier with each performance, so although they might hate me now for making them do it, it'll pay off.

I
AM

SO

PROUD

THEM!!!

I really mean that. I love this job.
