It’s the little things that make my life as a music teacher so enriching. Take this card, for example.
One of my very young students wrote me a thank you note for teaching her this year. How could it not warm your heart, looking at how studied and hard she tried to make it perfect! Lovely!

Her parents wrote me a note on the other side. I asked them if it would be alright to share their kind words, and they agreed.
Dear Belinda,
I cannot thank you enough for being the perfect music teacher for our very distractible child. Your energy has allowed her to blossom musically just at the exact rate she needed in order for her to love what she has learned.
Thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Pari and Javier
A very big hug and thank you right back to Heleyna, Pari and Javier! It’s been a pleasure and I look forward to continuing to see Heleyna grow as a musician.
Belinda xx
