It was a long day yesterday,some of my students
perform at Mingara sports ground for the Filipino Fiesta celebration in the
afternoon. After that they had another performance at Gosford Progress Hall for
a birthday bash party last night.
Some highlights
from last night is a casual student Mrs. Bregener who came to see me for a
lesson 2 weeks before her husband's birthday bash celebration. What a
passionate woman when it comes to her singing. She worked hard to be able to
give justice to a Celine Dion masterpiece "To Love You More". It was
a bit intimidating because she chose a tough song, but let me tell you this...
she made me very proud! Her husband simply adored her for this gesture and what
a priceless gift!
Another emotional number last night was from my new student, Reymalyn. I had teary eyed when I saw the whole family hugged each other after she sang. It was her Dad's 50th birthday and she wants to sing a song for him. Her Dad's facial expressions when she started singing just gave me goose bumps all over my body! According to her Dad, the last time she heard her sing was when she was in Year 3 and that was like 5 or 6 years ago. She got so busy and concentrated in dancing and studies. So imagine Reyma's parents surprise when they finally heard her voice for her first singing performance last night. To hear her parents said "thank you" to me as well as Reymalyn made me realised why I love to teaching.
