I promised myself I'd be asleep by midnight so I ahve a few minutes to spew forth my mind dribblings...
First off, for a laugh, call this number:
(303) 575-1696
Thanks to my loverly Danielle:)
I had a lesson today - a GOOD one! I played 2 whole movements of the Prokofiev solo sonata for my teacher as a surprise - she hasn't heard the first one since before I got tendonitis last year. I played all the way through it!
Granted, my techique is certainly needing some help, but I'm on the road to recovery. Wooooo!
The coolest thing was during the lesson, we were having a discussion on how to teach shifting to my students. (the answer - GUIDE NOTHES. me so smrt!)
Anywho, my teacher mentioned matter of factly that she wanted to talk about teaching techniqies with me because she sees me becoming "the most sought after teacher on the west coast."
Awwwwww......? I just laughed it off and said thank you, but she pressed on - " no I mean it. I can see you with your devotees - you have the talent - you can really do it."
How's that for a pick-me-up?! I sure do love teaching violin - it's what I was meant to do :) Good thing too, because I have over 31 students right now!!
Reva is such a crazy party animal, huh? ooooh yeah:)
I even have a student who is autistic. I'm slow at understanding him because he can't speak, but I'm having a great time doing it. What an amazing blessong to know little Bryce... wow.
So if things work out, my recital will be President's Day weekend. Around there, anyway. I am getting stoked - my last recital as a student (probably). This is just huge - I can't believe I'm going to be able to pull it off!!! And if things work out, Urmi may be there!!!!
The thing is, this is a huge deal for me. All the years of study and stretching and trying and tears and smiles and miles of friends... all in that recital. Wow. I cry when I think about it.
I'm hoping I get as much family as I can there. As many loved ones as I can pack into this place. If you live here or have ANY MEANS to come see me, please do. It just means so much to me. I'll practice really hard, I promise!
hmmm..... just big thoughts.
Okay, I have 3 minutes until midnight. Night, dear people.
SUPERCRACK is anticipatin'!
