Had my final concert with the kinder students at our school’s Open Day last Friday. It was a huge success and, though there’s always room for improvement, I am very proud of what these 5-6 year olds were able to accomplish musically this year.
What caught me by surprise was to receive an email this morning from my Head of music saying that one parent had spoke to her, complimenting how she loved the energy that the children sang with and the song selection of the concert. Said parent was the former Arts Administrator of the world famous Barbican Centre in London, England.
(I’m thrilled!)
I’ve done what I can with these kindergarteners – now it’s up to them to follow the path of music. Which leaves me with lookin’ forward to directing my next children’s choir. And now that I’m leaving this school, I wonder who and where my next students will be? Hmm …
