You know the music’s good when . . .

It’s music festival time in our section of the prairies.  Tonight we will venture to the town down the road to listen to some of my nieces.  They will sing and make merry.  And we will enjoy it!

Here in town, I’ve watched a number of contestants.  All have played straight through their pieces.  That is a sign of a good teacher.  Most have played the right notes.  That’s a sign of some practice.  A few have caught the general sense of the music piece.  That’s a sign of musicianship.  A scarce few make me close my eyes and gently float on the notes as they echo in the auditorium.  That’s the sign of true talent.

I’m glad to say that we have this caliber here in Kindersley.  May that continue to grow.
