Music Teacher Moments

Ok, this is officially really cool..

I joined a choir, Accord'Elles, back in the beginning of January.  They were instantly welcoming, and it's really been a joy singing with them every Tuesday night.  What's more, it's an all-women choir, which was just what I needed to feel like I was home after having been in amazing all-women choirs at SMC for the last four years. So that's already cool, right?  It gets better...

We had a concert last Sunday, and took precious pictures..

Classy, singing ladies.

Did someone say action shot?

At the concert, I had mentioned to my director (the rebel without a scarf), that I'd love to teach them a song if she'd be interested.  Well, she was interested!  So the following Tuesday, I taught them a simple arrangement of the spiritual "Yonder Come Day."  Here's the result:

Dancing or singing? Pretty much all the same for me.

Love these ladies.

This was really an incredible moment for me for a lot of reasons.  First, I was able to be a music teacher.  B. I taught a song all in French!! III. These women were kind and respectful enough to put up with my French and youthfulness and were really responsive to me as a teacher.  4. I was able to leave a little musical memory of myself in France.

See? I told you it was going to be a cool post.

Harmonically yours,

Angie
