Aynsley! This is wonderful. Your description of your first rehearsal was fantastic. And yes … I’ve been in the same boat as well – talking too much when my students just want to “do.” All the very best with this initiative … well done!

Hello Aynsley…please consider me your cheerleader!! I have been following your blog and am enthralled with the progress you are making. I love how you are analyzing yourself and trying to improve when things don’t go as well as you had hoped. These people are in good hands, enjoy your experience, as I am sure you are enriching many lives. I would love to watch the performance in August. At the very least I want to read all about it…right here. Thank you for sharing, Cheryl
