Abby's Christmas Eve mass prelude
Abby played "O Come, Little Children" before the 4:00 Christmas Eve mass today. The sound on my little camera isn't the best, but you get the idea. I'm very proud of her.
Adorable! Good for her. I have my kids perform at church every year. Shannon plays clarinet trios with Justin and I. Justin has graduated to solo saxophone pieces with the keyboardist. It's a great way for them to work out the anxiety of playing in public (especially solo playing) in a friendly environment.
I'm a writer, teacher, singer, mom and wife who tries to balance it all, with varying degrees of success on any given day. I've sung with opera companies, been on the communications staff for two health care organizations, and taught music at Catholic and public schools. Now I teach voice and Suzuki piano privately, cantor at local churches, and freelance for (mostly) local publications. And chase my three kids around.
