Spring is sprung, and so am I.

I just scared myself nigh unto a panic-attack by stupidly taking a look at my calendar for the next 5 weeks. Easter Sunday, 3 Recitals, 2 studio classes... 1 day-long out-of-town youth orchestra festival, 2 dress rehearsals, a spring concert...2 nights of dance show... This is all on-top of my normal teaching/work schedule.

I am getting better at just being able to accept that this is what Nov./Dec. and April/May will look like every year. This is life for a teaching musician. Just take a deep breath, and plow straight ahead..... I'm planning to have a nap on April 19 and May 3. :)

I guess it's a little bit like being a farmer at harvest time-- You gotta do it when it's time to be done.

I've had similar experiences. You're right about how to face them. Don't think, "Oh, no. How am I going to handle this?" Think "It's got to be done, so I'll do it."

Wow, It's wonderful that you can do all this!

Good luck!
