Hello Ms. Englert! For yesterday’s auditions, I played the beginning and end of Lamento and 3 scales….C Major (I know, right??? I couldn’t believe it!), Bb major, E major…I was, indeed, a VERY happy camper. So, that is my pretty spectacular news for Gettysburg and I really want you to know that I attribute so much of my success yesterday at auditions to your six years of incredible teaching—your teaching and the things you’ve taught me have opened up new parts of the world for me. I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t have music in my life, and of course, you! I am forever in thanks to you and I want you to know that the love of music that you have helped take seed and grow in my life is a truly irreplaceable and inexchangeable gift that I will cherish the rest of my life, I know it. It is something that has been and will always be a part of the person I am—it is so close to my soul.
Music is a beautiful creature and I will thank you forever for the opportunities I will get because I know that so much of the credit is due to you and your own overflowing love of music. It is always so obvious, your joy for music and your work…I can always see it in your eyes and hear it in your laugh.
I hope all is going well for you and I’d love to keep in touch. My gosh, I can remember my first lesson with you…you were trying to teach me the alternate fork-fingering for low B. I remember telling you I simply “couldn’t”. You said, “not using alternate fingerings is like trying to hammer in a nail with a screwdriver.” Good times!
Thank you so much for giving me the gift of music—but more than that, an appreciation for beauty and technique and art and antiquity and the divine and tradition and loveliness and emotion of music! I’ll be thinking about you a lot…all my best wishes!
