Director’s note

I hope this email finds you happy, healthy, and SANE! Being cooped up in a small space with a teen is tricky at best and a nightmare at worst. Just know that I would GLADLY take your kids off your hands more frequently if I could.  I am grateful for the time I am able to spend with now and I cherish every moment we share.

In case you were unaware, November is National Gratitude Month. You know how much I appreciate all of your continued support. The instruments, the lessons, carpool, reeds, sticks, etc… You do so much for your children, and I am confident that it seems underappreciated and overlooked, but I assure you it is not.

I usually am able to acknowledge and thank you at parent meetings, concerts, in the parking lot, and at events. But, these are not normal times, and words of appreciation have remained mostly unsaid. So, let me say them here and now.

I appreciate you. For the things I see you do and the things I don’t. I appreciate your support, patience, and understanding. I appreciate your willingness to allow, encourage, and insist that music be a part of your child’s life. It will be worth it in the end, for you and your children.

At some point, this will end, and we will return to normal and I will once again shake your hand, look you in the eye and show you the appreciation you deserve. Until then, please let this email serve as my personal, “THANK YOU” and acknowledgement of our National Month of Gratitude.

Sincerely, 
Efrain Hinojosa
