This Thursday April 29th we made music for a live audience. This was a very special audience of students who were part of the Bryan College Community School of Music and their immediate families. In a year where family and community bonds were strained because of Covid-19 we were all so relieved to be able to “play” and make music on a stage. Live music performance, together. Exploring in real time what the future holds for our learning and remembering how fun it is to be at the fresh beginning of a musical journey and realize YOU, even after practicing and taking lessons for 3 months have developed a musical gift to share that others can recognize and rejoice in. And YOU who are graduating High School after singing and playing devilishly difficult piano pieces have still more music in your future and much beauty to contribute to the world. We all learned so much this year, scale, arpeggios, Beethoven and Bach. Yet I know that unless the Lord builds the house the laborers labor in vain. I even asked for prayer support from an International team of prayer warriors! Now that it is done I can say: Celebrate with us by making the making the music only you can and sharing your encouragement with all the musicians in your corner of this small world!
