I was running all over town yesterday listening to my horn students play their solos at contest. They did a great job! 5 of my middle school students and 1 high school student performed. All 6 ended up receiving Superior ratings, so I was one proud teacher! Watching them get nervous as they walked into the room and then seeing their beaming faces when the scores were posted brought back a lot of memories from my own contest days. Playing an instrument teaches so many important lessons about discipline, perseverance, and having confidence in yourself. I'm grateful to my former teachers and thankful now to be able to play the same role in my own students' lives.
Here are 4 of my Rampello Magnet middle school students. Adorable kids, no?
