Good things: children singing.
This week, we went to the school where my son is the general music teacher; it was evening, and the choirs, bands and orchestras were holding their Winter Musical Extravaganza. The bands and orchestras played holiday music; the Honors Choir and the Rock & Roll History choirs sang songs loosely tied together by the theme of dreams. The choir music was drawn from the popular canon, both current and past--the kids helped to choose it. Lifted up by those young voices, piercing and sweet--the music moved us and sweetened our season. I wish I could play some of it for you. Frankly, I wish I could listen to it over and over again. So beautiful.

It is so very moving to watch your own child help other children find the joy of music. So satisfying.
