My teacher is kind, generous, and incredibly skilled both as a violinist and as a teacher. <BR/><BR/>And so far, I've practiced (rather fruitfully) every day this week!Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335346622663277040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12421472.post-55136038940767206812009-01-07T11:00:00.000-05:002009-01-07T11:00:00.000-05:00Great post Angela.

That is way cool. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18112222816531905191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12421472.post-75958240189440909722009-01-07T01:13:00.000-05:002009-01-07T01:13:00.000-05:00Wow, Angela.

What a beautiful post. <BR/><BR/>I find that often, those of us who became teachers struggle with this concept - why didn't we dedicate every waking second to becoming the most amazing musician ever?<BR/><BR/>At least, I struggle with that.<BR/><BR/>But I remember why I teach, and how much I love my job. Even if I am not the best clarinetist anymore, I still get to share my passion with lots of students.<BR/><BR/>And being a Christian and a musician is interesting, too, isn't it? You have the love for such beauty, and such passion, and you have the love of the One, who placed us here.<BR/><BR/>Someday, I hope to have a family too, where I can be balanced.<BR/><BR/>I love you Angela. I admire you so much.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for being an inspiration to me.Liz Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037029982372145479noreply@blogger.com
