Last lesson

It is always a challenge to teach something at a student's last lesson.  I don't want to send home any of my music with them and starting a new song that they will not practice seems like a waste of time.  This morning I had a final lesson with a student and I taught him to play "Heart and Soul".  He loved it and I am pretty sure he will play it again.  Maybe this will be my new final lesson plan.

My Big Day



After 6 months and hundreds of hours of practice I gave my recital on December 27, 2013.  I wanted to to soar with Rachmaninoff, Schumann, Chopin and Brahms one more time and I was able to.  My family was all there to support me and many friends and some of my students.
