During the school closure time, I miss seeing all my students. However, I received many messages from my former students. That really warms my heart during this tough time.
One of my former piano students Ethan sent me a very touching message today that melt my heart. So happy to see my former students are doing so well and they still remember me. This is the most wonderful reward for teaching. Thank you to all my students who have given me so much laughter, happiness and memory. I miss you all.
This is what Ethan wrote to me and sent me a picture that he drew.
"Hi Mrs. Chow, It’s Ethan C.
I’m not sure how well you remember me, but I was very sad when you left Muskoka. I know I wasn’t the best student, but one of my biggest regrets was not taking your lessons as seriously as I ought to have had. I’m a student at Sheridan now, working on my bachelor of animation, and I’m still forever enthralled by music, even theory now. I wasn’t able to continue piano much longer after you left (no one could replace you) but I wanted to thank you anyways. In many ways, you had been more family to me than the many aunts, uncles, and grandparents that I never got to see. The echoes of your influence still shape who I am, especially as an artist. Even though I don’t play music as much as I’d like to anymore, I’ve learned to channel what you taught me about art and discipline into other aspects of my life.Thank you, from the depths of my heart."
