It is often said that rewards in teaching are few and far between. Today, I was honored to see a former student, Daniel Bourgeois, perform with the Loyola University Chorus and Chorale amazing music.
I listened and watched in awe as my former director subtly conducted sounds that very few are able to evoke. The choir breathed energy and passion into the music (Peaceable Kingdom and Vaughn Williams's Mass in G Minor).
Meg Frazier paid me one of the biggest compliments of my career, she said that Daniel was a great student and to send more students like him to Loyola. She is placing him in the highest ensemble at Loyola.
I, most certainly, do not take credit for his achievements. His family, self-motivation, and other instructors have influenced him immensely, but it is great to have been asked to have more of my students audition to Loyola!
