Spring String Concert

Continuing the summer count-down, the EIMP gave our final concert of the year last night at El Roble along with the El Roble and CHS Orchestras. I always enjoy listening to how much the kids have improved since 1) the beginning of the year and 2) since the February concert.

This year all the teachers got these lovely, lovely bouquets, and I also got a Baskin Robbins gift card from a student. However, even more special to me was the heartfelt hug from one particular student who came to this school district this fall from another district. She had played the violin for one year, but she didn't really know how to read music, and through her hard work made a great deal of progress. When I told her I was proud of her improvement, she looked me in the eye and said, "It's because of you. You are my favorite music teacher." I'll try to bottle up that good feeling and enjoy it whenever I teach.

That's wonderful Charlotte! There's nothing like a child thanking you from the bottom of their hearts!

What a lovely compliment that obviously came from the heart! Yes, those are to be remembered and savored.
