Whew--the first week of March just about killed me over with stress, but I am happy to report that I survived my second year of putting students in piano festival. I played myself for 9 consecutive years as a girl, and as scary as it was, I never dreamed that my teacher was more scared than me! I entered seven students this year, and they all made me proud! Especially my two favorite students--McKenna and Kyler. This was Kyler's first year in festival, and he got a perfect score! McKenna, now in her 2nd year, received a 99 and blew her judge away with her musicality. Both he and McKenna feel music so easily. It's so exciting for me to see them creating and enjoying music! I am truly thankful to my own parents who provided me with the opportunity to learn music. Music is food to my soul. Few things in this life bring be as much satisfaction and joy as music does--and few things bring me closer to the Spirit. I want so much for my own children to have this gift in there life--so it is thrilling for me to see the beginnings of their love for music grow!
