Takao got a flu last week and we both had to cancel all the appointments and work for the whole week. We just stayed home and rested. So this week is a kind of "recovery week". He started to go to work from Monday, and I started to have lessons with my students also.
I realized how much I enjoy having a musical time with my students because not only I teach them but also I can learn from them, too!
Yesterday I had a wonderful moment with my vocal student. She is in her late 60's and having lesson with me for the past 5 years, always passionate to learn things, want to improve as possible, and also a very honest and kind woman. I like her so I want her to improve more and more. Yesterday, we just reached a the best moment where she suddenly understand how to breathe effectively for singing then her voice improved so beautifully! She seemed so happy almost jumped around! I was so happy for her, too!
If I learn music just by myself I must not have this kind of moment! That's why I love not only learning but also teaching. I'm not so excellent with performing but I think I'm good at understanding what's going on with people's body or mind, that is perhaps my strong point. I want to thank God who make me do this, bring students to me. Thank you!
