I may have mentioned about the vocal instructor up at the college missing a lot of lessons this semester. Well, anyway, a couple of the students petitioned the head of the music department about canceling juries and she did. I was supposed to have to be there for several hours today doing that, and I didn’t have to go, which was great. I still get paid by the students as though I had, though, since I spent all that time preparing with them.
The student recital was yesterday and it went fine. I played for six different people, plus a duet. All-in-all it was a weird semester, though, with my having to do so much of the work with the students alone. I’m glad its over and next year I’ll be working with Beth Joosten both with the lessons and with the Red Cedar choir.
Nothing new to report on the suit. I talked for a long time with our attorney on the phone the other day and that was calming and encouraging, although we may have quite a battle ahead, since these people will stop at nothing and don’t care who gets hurt in the process.
I’m happy to see you check in here. I was hoping that everything was okay.
I’m so glad that they were able to petition to have it cancelled. It sounded like a bad idea since they really weren’t ready. And I’m glad that you were still paid–but had so much less stress! 🙂
Beth Joosten will be fun to work with next year!
