{ this moment } ....kinda.


blogshare via soulemama

teaching music these past few years has brought on a whole new appreciation I have for the art.
I forgot my camera to last night's recital, so I'm posting a picture from a previous recital I hosted for my students. Last night was a small and intimate holiday/family recital for one student in particular. She was a bit nervous, but she performed beautifully. It took all the focus and concentration I had to not sob right there on the spot. I'm extremely blessed and grateful to be her instructor.

  1. Hi - I am sure it was a special moment for all of you. It must be difficult to just have to sit back and watch your creativity become amalgamated with your student's xx

  7. If you ever come to SC I have a student for you! I don't have a musical bone in my body which is a shame as I have a great piano and a wee one who wants to play.

    what a gift it is to give someone the ability to create music, you must have been so happy for her :).
    I really want my kids to learn to play music. I reeaaaallly reaaaaallly want them to, and I want to too. I am thinking it might be cool if we all learned together...
