another round of yamaha concerts
over the past week i had a chance to help out with year-end concerts for the students of the Junior Music Course (JMC), Junior Advanced Course (JAC), and Young Musician's Course (YMC) classes at yamaha music school. i haven't been to a yamaha concert since forever, but everything seemed strangely familiar even though the Junior Special Advanced Course (JSAC) concerts were done a little bit differently; some of the songs that the students played were songs that i had played back when i was still a JMC student, and one of the teachers there was my teacher way back!
i couldn't help but smile when i saw how nervous some of the kids were; i remembered exactly how it felt to be playing in one of those concerts. i remember being super nervous and wishing i had practiced more. (even at an early age i was a horrible student and hardly practiced...some things never change. bah hah.)
even though my job wasn't necessarily hard, the concerts left me feeling drained at because some kids, as cute as they might have been, were crazy. nevertheless it was a pleasure being able to watch little kiddies making music with their respective classes and to see how proud all the parents were of their sons and daughters...
...but if i ever turn into a crazy, rude, and incredibly annoying parent, someone slap me. aghh.
