With only a few weeks left of teaching, followed by enrollment in graduate classes at the University of St. Thomas in Music Education, I am feeling thrilled with the year!
The middle school “Arts Performance Night” was a first-ever success! The students rose to the occasion and there were very few errors. We encountered issues with a tiny stage, microphone and lighting problems with finesse, and the students acted professionally as they clearly represented the future of a thriving music program. Many students are eager for what they will be able to do next year. The parent comments centered around two comments: “Wow, I never knew my child could sing like that!” and “they looked like they were having a lot of fun. What’s next?”.
Another session of aerials arts wrapped up at Xelia’s Aerial Arts Studio with a student showcase. Here I am performing on knot tissu (silks with a knot in the end of them, which allows for us to do complicated free-falls without hitting the ground). Jeff and I will be continuing our studies, gaining strength with each session. Our next show will not be until the fall, the summer being used to train for more challenging aerials. My goal is to climb with more ease and success.

Until then, I wish you the best of springs. I will now go enjoy the sun.
