Today, I met with16 students who will be practising with me for the rest of the summer. Most of the students are from the high school where I have worked for the past two years. These students have chosen to meet to play chamber music and perform at hospitals, and seniors' residences during the summer. This will be the fourth summer that I have done this. Hard to believe that I have been doing this for so many years. Three of the students are back for the 4th year. They are very good players. My job tomorrow is to go out and start hunting down more music for them. Since they are paid for some of the performances, there is money available. Wonderful to see how much they have improved over the years.
With time, some students have dropped out because they have summer jobs and can not make the commitment to the summer any more. I always wondered if the numbers would eventually diminish but to my surprise the numbers have actually increased.
Good to know that there are students who are able to give their time and work at something.
