Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail. I was shocked. I had to read it TWICE! I asked myself, "Is this for real?" It read, "In keeping with this mission of supporting music education and inspiring young people, we are very pleased to recognize you with our annual Top Teacher Award for outstanding instruction and leadership in piano education. You were selected for this award by Steinway Piano Gallery-Charlotte...
Your commitment to your students is evident in your insistence that practice and perform....your passion for music will light the way for countless others. On behalf of everyone at Steinway & Sons, I extend sincere thanks and congratulations."
I'm humbled, thankful and motivated more than ever to be the very best version of myself for my students. I'll never stop trying.
