It has been a long, cold, windy month. Full of teasers and hints of Spring, but then...smackdown into winter mode again! At least the sugaring started in earnest, and the mud roads sprouted their weight limit signs, and the frost heaves are in heave heaven!
And today, a lady who approached me last Sept. To enquire about harp lessons actually made it here for her first. Carol is an accomplished musician, so I already feel she will blow by me quickly, but despite her major in church organ, being a daily keyboardist who also plays guitar and trumpet, she was having the same "pat your head and rub your belly" moments I remember from when I first started! But so delighted! So excited to be learning new stuff, and finally playing this harp she has had for years , just waiting for life to calm down enough to take on something new. This is what I was hoping for! So, I hope things continue to be as much fun for us both down the road! Hooray! 2 other potential students in the wings, also adults...but we shall see. I just have to cultivate my own musical group to jam with, not having Andee's incredible proximity to so much talent!
Church music prep for Palm Sunday paid off! I love that service! My choir pulled out the stops, and we had people in tears in the pews. Music is such a powerful thing, isn't it? Magical, mystical, healing.
Well, that is my news. Andee and Lucy sound like things are fabulous and right where they need to be! Wish we could share a cuppa!! Stay warm and Happy Eastertide!!
Congrats on having a student!
ReplyDeleteYes, congrats on the student! Teaching something really means you know that particular thing inside and out, it is so helpful to you as well!
