The one on Teacher's Day

Felt really appreciated receiving cards and gifts from the piano kids over the past weeks. Nothing beats knowing that you had gained the trust and respect of these children and they are learning and enjoying a skill you are imparting to them.

My fondest Teacher's Day memory took place few years back in a music school I was teaching. This 5-yr-old boy bashfully took out 2 muffins wrapped in cellophane plastic from his bag, handed them to me and whispered 'Happy Teacher's Day'. When asked where he bought those muffins from, he replied 'I made them myself'.

Awww.. I was completely bowled over..
