Digital Diary // Summer 2024 Contracts
This summer has truly been life changing. Is it really cheesy to say that I feel like I really found myself this summer? And being these kid’s music teacher is genuinely one of the most fulfilling parts of my life.
Spent the first half of Summer in All Shook Up. This is the third summer that I have taught many of these students. This musical was a beast, let me tell you. I knew that it would be a creative challenge and I knew my students would be up for the task. Watching them grow and take this iconic music and breathe new air into it was so inspiring. I have seen grown adults not learn material of this difficulty level, but my students really did the damn thing.
The second half of the summer was spent doing Aladdin Jr. This was especially exciting because I have never music directed anyone under the age of twelve before. So very much a learning curve, but so rewarding. These kiddos were such a handful, I won’t lie. However, it doesn’t take away from how unbelievably fulfilling
