For the past 17 years my students have given quite a few concerts, and I think they keep getting better and better. I count myself fortunate to have a job I love - and these kids are the reason why. I used to get a big high after each successful performance, but lately I come to expect things to go well. That doesn't mean I don't look forward to these festivities.
What I really enjoy about these evenings now is that I get to see people I don't always run into. While I see the kids every week, I don't always see their parents. I also love seeing the El Roble musicians who started with us in elementary school. They look so mature, they play more complex music, and they are happy to come hug me and say hi. That's it - I look forward to all the hugs!
