And often when I'm in the middle of it, trying to keep focused, I tend to negate what I have done and only look at the long list of what's next.
It's like being in the middle of a forest and only seeing the trees.
So on this beautiful, clear, sunny Monday morning, I thought I'd take a step back and look at the forest....
Here's some things on my plate.... and the progress I made last week:
- end-of-the-year program for the Children's Choir Program Sunday afternoon; I've been filling-in for the last three weeks after the director resigned. The kids were awesome!
- decided for sure how I wanted my summer teaching schedule to be and made a calendar of events
- wrote up info about a beginners piano camp I'm teaching this summer and created a brochure, business card, webpage and on-line registration form for it. (Piano Camp 2005)
- still working on a newsletter for parents and students updating them on end-of-the-year and summer schedule; getting the camp info completed was a sub-project in this
- sent a request to students and parents for testimonials to use in my marketing materials
- have memorized all my lines for Smoke on the Mountain and have been "off book" for the past two rehearsals
- can play all the songs for the show from memory and know my vocal part on them
- almost have all the lyrics to the songs memorized
- accompanied 11.5 hours of students at UAH preparing for recitals and juries (A "jury" is the musician's equivilant of a final exam. They perform the songs they've been working on all semester for a "jury" of faculty members)
- taught 14 lessons (piano, organ, or composition)
- went to two outside performances that some of my students were involved in
- had two coaching sessions with clients
- had my own voice coaching session with a colleague
- and many more things..... but I'm now out of time to list them
Here's to continuing the Journey.... taking care of the "trees" while enjoying the "forest"!
