Are you keeping up with your private students as well as your university responsibilities?
Although, I did have to cancel several lessons when we got to tech week/dress rehearsals/etc. But it's okay, they're used to it.:)
They understand the value, I think, of having a teacher who also performs. The kids are able to see what they can accomplish if they keep up the practicing; I love to tell them "I actually GET PAID to play the piano! Isn't that cool??!!!"
I've also kept up with the children's theatre but today was our last performance until after Christmas, thank goodness.
God bless our fabulous troops, and God bless America!
Good night everybody!!
