Aloha! Thought I'd share with this this lovely group! Hopefully Nainoa will be able to join a couple times during his holiday break. We are swimming to the end of the quarter right now....In the meantime...5 concerts plus audition in 3 weeks. Ugh. Said with love. As if he didn't have enough to do, he decided to enter this online music festival created by one of our local student musicians here in Honolulu. Asked two of his bandmates at school and they put this together in 2 days to submit. Needless to say he didn't submit a recital video like so many of the violinists and pianists did. LOL! He ended up winning Special Recognition in the Baroque and Trio category!! Off to buy gifts cards as a thank you to these gals for stepping in to help him. Takes a village 'eh! Enjoy...https://youtu.be/e3uYL_aOTLk?si=4Nnj2DGnmPoLQwl6

@Erin Brophey I will remind him to show up for your group during the break...wait....are YOU taking a break??

@Erin Brophey Aloha! I'm only reading this post now because I popped in here to respond to your question to Nainoa and I. I wasn't sure if you knew I specialize in anxiety. Mostly high functioning anxiety. If you and folks are interested I'd love to give back to this wonderful group and offer anything you think would be helpful. Workshop, Q&A, etc.🥰💙

@Erin Brophey 🥰

@Erin Brophey Aloha!! He's back at the 2nd Quarter grind! With the time difference I think your class isn't during his break anymore. I've been telling him to record it and upload for you folks. He has 3 concerts coming up toward the end of November and first week of December. Of course they all align at the same time! The Mozart piece is for an ensemble. Stay tuned...I'll keep encouraging my teenager to engage with this wonderful group! My husband and I were wondering if you ever do anything such as a live/in person week-long Bootcamp during summers? We could plan a vacation around it. Wink-wink...😁💃🎼

@Erin Brophey OMGOSH! That is so exciting and amazing agenda! And thanx for posting the dates already so we can plan. We've both been to different parts of Canada but never there! Will go dust off the passports. Because we may never leave after this week. 🙄
