Sitting in the Music Building at Alma College today, where my daughter is attending a Woodwind Symposium for Flutes, Saxophones, and Clarinets. Her teacher, Dr. Miller, is one of the presenters today. She was pretty excited about coming, and it was by invitation so there are only a half-dozen of each instrument here, making for lots of individual attention for everyone.
Dr. Miller is also going to talk about performance anxiety this afternoon. This is what she did her doctoral dissertation on so she should have some good information to pass along to everyone. I'm planning to attend that one!
I am grateful that we are able to provide these kinds of experiences for our kids - they may well have had them when I was her age, but I was never interested in pursuing them the way they are. I wish I would have been!
We had a snowy drive up this morning, as another inch or so fell overnight. Road crews were out, and I was able to average about 60MPH, with very light traffic. The Camry handled it well, but I realized when I got up here that I hadn't transferred my snow brush from the old car yet, so I went and bought a cheap scraper after dropping Lauren off, just in case. Of course, now the sun is out, and I probably won't need it, but it's good to have it anyway.
