My wife, Jessica, and I just put on our winter studio recital here in Lincoln, in Bemis Hall this weekend. Nine of her vocal students and eight of my piano students sang and played for a crowd of 70 family members and friends. The feedback, as always, inspired both of us to continue to seek to become better and better teachers and to continue to grow our studio.
The most flattering compliment came from a friend of Jessica's, who came to the recital simply to support us as teachers! She told me that she has been to many many similar recitals over the years and that this one had by far been the best! We are so proud of our students, and so happy to be working with eachother from the same philosophical standpoint. To be able to share one's music with others in the company of supportive and loving audience members is such a wonderful gift and we are blessed to be able to pass this gift on to other children and adults.
I heard a quote this last week that went something like this: "Carpenters make this world livable, doctors and police officers make people safe. But artists make life worth living."
