I can’t believe that after 12 years in Boston we are picking up and relocating. Just like when I moved from Utah to Boston, the hardest thing is saying goodbye to my students and the community we have built here. I am so thankful for the past 12 years. You have seen me bring home my babies, have survived a worldwide pandemic, and so many other things! Most importantly, you have welcomed me into your lives and we have made so many beautiful memories and so much beautiful music. I will miss you.
Thank You Thank You Thank You,
