It is time for the Holiday Performance Party, something I look forward to with great joy. It has become a tradition that brings my current students and many of those who have gone on to college or professional careers in a bigger market, together. There is a nervous excitement for my newer students hearing the more seasoned and then a chance to talk about it at the party after. It is a chance for me to spend some quality time with parents and partners of my students. I always enjoy this, finding I gain some new insight on the student I see every week. And of course I love making music and having people come to my home for a good meal.
