I love music, as you may already know.

Today, I received a digital copy of a song that I recorded as part of our music group this year. After giving it a listen, I was struck by one significant thought: I am unbelievably thankful for the opportunity to make music as part of my job. 

In honor of that thankfulness, I decided to share the recording of “Spain” (originally performed by Chick Corea) as it was performed by students and yours truly, in all it’s unpolished/live glory:

And if you haven’t had enough, feel free to listen to the unpolished version of Autumn Leaves that we put together in about an hour last week. I can’t say it was an “on” singing day for me (ouch, sometimes listening to yourself can be less than fun!), but I loved what my students did with their parts, and I’m so impressed with how much they love music and how much they teach me!
