Greetings students, parents, family, and friends,
What a great year 2021 turned out to be. I personally have been overwhelmed by gratitude in the improvement over last year and how we all band together to continue giving our children and ourselves opportunities to grow and learn new things. In my life, the Helena Symphony Orchestra once again held live concerts and continued to livestream so that those who cannot attend our concerts may hear the our music. I was graciously invited to perform in four weddings and join a bluegrass band, Old Freight Road. My life continues to be filled with music, and for that I am grateful.
My students continue to surprise me with their initiative and motivation to learn new and difficult music. I know this era of unrest and uncertainty can be difficult, especially for our children, but they are and have been so resilient to overcome it. I commend you all for finding respite and meaning in music and learning.
Here we are, finally, presenting our recital. My students have worked hard all year learning new music to present to you this month. See you there!
