October 2016

Welcome to Fall!  October seems to signal the end of the scorching summer, and the excitement of upcoming holidays, family gatherings, and enjoying the cooler weather takes hold.  It also signals the coming of fantastic DVMTA Events.   Music Marathon on Oct. 22nd, and Original Composition Festival Nov. 19th and 20th kick off our season.  Your students are busy making final recital preparations, but you are probably already looking ahead to the end of the month when Cavalcade registration opens.  This is always an exciting time. 

 In all the busy moments that will follow, I hope you can take one or two moments to reflect on what these events mean to your students, and the growth that has occurred as they’ve participated.  For most, it’s about setting a goal and accomplishing it, and that’s a great thing.  Our wonderful Alayne Favreau inspired us at our last General Meeting, as she described recently climbing Sunrise Peak and looking over the valley at sunrise.  The climb is difficult, but once the top is reached, the amazing view gives a whole different perspective, and an appreciation of the process is gained.  I hope our students experience this, I know mine have as they’ve reached for something that seemed way too hard, but with determination and encouragement have accomplished something great.  Have a wonderful Music Marathon!
