Shop Talk

Spring is a busy time in everything....sports, school, music! April was insane for my job for some reason. Even with only 13 students I seriously was working round the clock, if it wasn't family responsibilities it was piano stuff. Certificates, judging sheets, progress reports, recital stuff, tests, prep for adjudication, etc. etc. etc. It wore me out! But it's worth it to get back judging sheets that say my students are on the right track and see them perform confidently in a recital. With such few students I am super lucky right now that they are seriously all awesome!! 

I found a few pics on my phone for when I had to go shopping or needed my lists away from home. Just some samples of the things I was organizing! It was fun stuff! I mean who's job is to buy candy bars and balloons and ribbons?? Mine!

I also stupidly signed up for 3 lessons with Del at BSU in April! What was I thinking??? Finding time to practice a few advanced songs just added to the craziness! And in the end I didn't even end up performing at my studio recital this year, even though for once I had been practicing so much. Oh well! I do love having my own piano lessons so much when I get the chance.

It is so fun that little Missy is old enough to help me run errands for most of this stuff now! Well I mean, run errands without causing me a minor heart attack due to stress! When we picked up recital balloons I let her pick one out for herself. Tiger print it was! I love the sassy pose too. 

Awww. the best night of the year. Getting to see all my little students and their families together. A couple of these students have been with me for over 7 years now! That's longer than I've lived in my house! The recital was awesome. 

Me and my two seniors! They are both doing senior recitals! Unreal. But so, so fun to help them get ready!

A gem sent to me from one of my 7+ year students. This sweetie started when she was 4!! By now it seems like she's my own kid. :)

And to sum up....after all this business was over, I pulled out my gigantic collection of pop and movie music and all my "kids" are having a blast learning Star Wars, Frozen, Firework, etc.... what a great job!
