To me, Valentine’s Day is the day we recognize the special people in our lives for all they have done for us. This year, I’d like to thank the members of DVMTA for helping to make me the person I am today. In the midst of our country’s current divisive, uncompromising, hateful atmosphere, I am so thankful to be part of an organization that is proving itself to be above all that! In the past seven months, I have had the honor to work with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met! The way people have pitched in to keep the organization strong is truly inspirational. We have faced challenges and still have many obstacles ahead to surmount, but instead of taking sides and blocking progress toward reaching the goals our organization aspires to, we have all focused on trying to find the best solutions for meeting the needs of the largest majority of our members. For this, I am truly grateful!
If you are reading this, count yourself lucky! You are a part of a unique organization that has so much to offer! I definitely wouldn’t be the teacher I am today without DVMTA. I have learned so much from fellow members as well as outside presenters! Count your students lucky as well! Think of the wonderful opportunities you are able to provide them! Whenever I acquire a transfer student that has come from a studio that provides nothing for the students other than a yearly recital, the parents and student light up like the 4th of July when I tell them about Marathon, Original Composition Festival, Cavalcade, Awards in Excellence and Achievement Day! They can’t wait to get started! And the best part – all of our events are available to all students. No one is ever denied the opportunity to participate!
As you enter this time of love and friendship, I hope you will think of the good friends you have made through DVMTA and how fortunate you are to be part of such a fine organization! I know I will! Happy Valentine’s Day!
