Tomorrow I will have my final piano recital at Lanna Music school.I'll be performing Chopin and Rachmaninoff pieces (Etude in F minor, Revolutionary 10-12, and Etude 3 No. 2 in C sharp minor) alongside some really promising young Thai musicians like Nong June and Nong Fang.
This will be the last recital before I return to California, and before my music teacher Kruu Jeab moves to a new music school (after 12 years at Lanna).
This is definitely a turning point in my life. I taught my last weekday term at AUA Chiang Mai yesterday. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to teach these students. They are so bright, energetic, and joyful. My J2, L5 and L7 classes this term were awesome. I will always remember them.
I have mixed feelings, but overall I feel a sense of accomplishment, content with what I have and have done and ready to face what the future holds.
