My First Piano Recital as a Teacher

Friday, December 14, 2012

Tonight I hosted my very first piano studio's recital. I am one proud teacher. I got a taste of how it feels to be on the other side of the recital -- sitting there as a nervous wreck listening to all the hard work you and the students put into these little pieces unfold. This has been a whirlwind year of getting in my "teaching groove." To be honest, I kind of started this whole teaching thing not-on-purpose. In January a family at church asked if I could fill in for a while since their current teacher was leaving, and wouldn't you know it... word got out that I was teaching and by the summer had 10 students. I love my little students and they truly bring me so much joy. Not every day as a teacher is easy, but on nights like tonight it all becomes so very worth it.

So proud of my girls! Everyone did so great and worked so hard. Aren't they so cute?
