Congratulations, Emily! Sounds like you have done a great job with your kids. And the food sounds super, too.

But now you have me wondering if my teacher will expect me to play at a recital??? I hadn't considered playing in front of anyone for a long time, if ever. I'm very shy.

Arggh.

Bravo, Emily! All your hard work paid off. Now you can take a well earned vacation from teaching during the summer. Which Beethoven Sonata? I love the cadenza in the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata.
It sounds like you're a great teacher who personally invests in the life of each student. Thanks for sharing! congratulations emily! i could've written this exact same entry last week (except cooking stresses me out). you sound like a great teacher with a great studio. keep it up and don't back down. Aw, you guys are sweet. I played opus 3, #2, the "Haydn". It's not terribly diffictult, but a real treat to play. Actually, all four movements are nice (go figure, it's Beethoven).

About now, I wish I got a break, but it's a seamless junction between the teaching and the cooking for summer camp. And the king salmon are running!

oops, I meant opus 2, #3, if anyone is still looking at this. That reminds me of my student recital, just a few weeks ago. Everyone played so well, I was so proud! I also was working on the fugue from the Bach C minor, but decided it was not ready for prime time. So I played the "Blues" from the Ravel Sonata. What fun it was. Most liked it, but it was too "modern" for a few ears!
