Another long day of teaching and checking off goodbyes. Some are very hard to believe, but they are happening bit by bit. The unpeeling progresses.
One of my students gave me a picture of her practicing. She is absorbed in her space, surrounded by sheets of music that are falling off the sofa on which she's sitting. In the time that I have known her she has grown so much, both as a person and as a musician. She is coming to own this space, it is growing in her and through her, something still young, but which I think will be unstoppable very soon.
It's so powerful to be a part of this. Teaching is an art in which I can see great pleasure in being virtuosic. I have so much to learn, and am so thankful for my students for being so patient and respectful of me. Thank you.
