Last night, the music department at the school where I have been working since September presented the Spring Concert. What fun. I did not get to see most of it since I was supervising students most of the time but I certainly made a point of enjoying the experience. This might be the last time that I conduct. Michael reminded me that this might the last time as I was leaving for work in the morning. Wow, after 34 years of teaching- the last time. Very strange.
The Junior Band which I directed played very well. What a thrill after working with them for the year. They had plenty of time to get ready for the performance and they rose to the occasion. My favourite piece and the one that many people commented on was the Old Grumbly Bear which featured a tuba solo and in this case two tubas because I could not pick one of them to do it. They are both very good. It is not very often that you get to hear two tubas playing solo.
Now it is time to get the testing done.

Che ce'di nuovo: from our Italian classes-what's new. I hope to write about what's new in my life and also what I find of interest that is new. Will be interesting to explore the everyday and look at it with new eyes.

About Me
- Bassoon Woman
- Despite the fact that I have been playing the bassoon since I was 13 years old, there are people who will be surprised by the name Bassoon Woman. Some of these people would be my tennis partners who only know me as an eager opponent on the tennis court. I am living proof that you can get better as you as age. At least, I think that I am playing better (they accepted me on one of the club teams last year.) Members of the garden club where I attend sessions designing florelle centre pieces, are always surprised to see me at performances. My next performance is at Colborne Lodge in High Park, we are playing a return engagement celebrating spring on March 20. Hopefully, it will be springlike. These are just a few of the activities that occupy my time. After 30 years of teaching fulltime, I now work part-time teaching music in a high school. Wonderful experience. I am looking forward to exploring the many experiences fill my days. noramr2@gmail.com
