Another year comes to an end...
June 21, 2008 at 11:19 AM
Two posts in one day. I'm on a roll!I have collected violins and music books today and my students had their last violin lesson. Chances are many will move away, many will drop violin, many will switch instruments, or many will change schools all together. You never know what will happen in the future but you only hope that they enjoyed what may have been their first exposure to playing music for most of them. I must admit that I was disappointed that I didn't get as much accomplished as I would have liked this year, but of all my kids, I think my fourth and fifth graders were the most enthusiastic and dedicated about violin and were a pleasure to teach. Every year brings a different out come and I never know if I'll see these students again so I like to take pictures of the classes to remember my kids by. I only hope that I gain more wisdom and do a better job teaching each passing year.
For your viewing pleasure:
