I am realizing it has been more than a month since I've posted. I can't believe I didn't even post pictures from the recital! Things have just been out of control lately, with the amount of work I have taken on. I went to Baltimore right after Christmas for the Am. Philosophical Assoc. meeting, and gave a "comment" on a paper there. During the first week of January we were off to the Turks and Caicos for a little vacation. Now it is back to the freezing cold, teaching at EMU, etc..
Tess is now starting to learn Minuet Three, and is working on the preview/practice spot for that hard part of Gossec Gavotte. I can't imagine her little fingers will ever be quick enough to get through those slurs. But hopefully soon. It feels like it has taken us much longer to get to this point than it should have. Things really slowed down, somewhere along the way. Tess and I are not as religiously devoted to a long practice time every evening. I am lucky to just have her get the instrument out. No beating myself up over it, though. She's moving at her pace. And I'm moving at the pace I can manage right now.
Let's see.... here's a photo from the December recital!
