Time flies..... as I have not posted here for almost 2 years. Since that time, COVID-19 has changed the world by shutting down businesses, closing schools, and changing the everyday life for everyone. As a music educator, this brought about unprecedented challenges, but as they say... "the show must go on!"
Faculty, students, and staff have pushed through the past 15 months. NSU campus closed for in-person education on March 13th, 2020. We went to remote learning, and we all were acquainted with new terms such as "social-distancing" and "Zoom." I won't sugarcoat it.... it was hard. It took a toll on all of us emotionally, physically, and intellectually. It really made me really reflect and how I approach life as a musician, leader, and a person.
I could write a long post, but it would never truly capture the experience of the last year. I do want to say that I'm proud my students, my colleagues, and music education community. I want to say thank you to all the health care workers working the frontline. Lastly I want to send my condolences to all those families who have lost loved ones due to this pandemic. The future has new challenges, but we as music community will face together. Be strong my friends, and remember that you are not alone.
