This is a remarkable class of musicians. Figuring that there are 180 days in the school year and each of them spent at least 40 minutes every day for 4 years=that’s 480 hours that I have spent with these students. For this class, many hours were spent on remote, but thank goodness I did get to see most of them in room 218 every day in the past month.
