Winding Down

Sorry it's been a while. I am finishing the end of the semester. I can't believe it is already over. This semester has been quite a ride. I taught both saxophone and clarinet, which I was a little worried about because I don't have a lot of experience with saxophone. Now I can honestly say I would feel confident teaching saxophone again and I would have no problem. I was afraid in the beginning of the semester that I would not be able to reach the students because #1) I am not their regular instructor and #2) I don't consider myself a saxophonist. I soon overcame that fear and now I feel that I did accomplish something with them and no matter what they took away from their time with me I gave them everything I had both musically and intellectually. I will really miss teaching all of these students, because for the first time ever, I felt like a real music professor. It was definitely a highlight in my career. More good things happened this semester...my best friend Elizabeth had her second baby (Emma) and my niece and nephew celebrated birthdays. It has been a great time and I have learned a lot. Next up for Josh and I is going to Florida to hang with his family and then we will get to stand in our good friends' wedding in New Orleans. It is going to be a great summer!! God Bless, HB
