Coming Together
A week and a half ago the Utah Valley Symphony had our concert with Loren Allred which was so much fun. I love coming together with special artists. I was inspired not only by Loren’s amazing voice but also by her comments about not giving up on your dreams and how music has blessed her life. She shared how the song Never Enough from The Greatest Showman changed her life and the course of her career. You never know when one seemingly small thing will end up changing your life forever.
After the concert another orchestra member said to me, “I don’t know why that made me emotional.” I knew what she felt because at one point in the concert, I felt it too. For me, it is bringing that many people together for something that is uplifting. It fills the world with goodness and fills your soul with joy. It’s great to play a small role as a flute player in the symphony by creating that experience for such a large crowd.
Keep dreaming. Don’t give up. Keep coming together and find ways to lift those around you.

Summer Rewards
Summer is known for extra activities like fun trips, vacations, camps, family reunions, carnivals and more. Sometimes it can be hard to practice your flute when your time is competing with so many events on your calendar.
That’s why an extra CONGRATULATIONS goes out to my flute and piano students who earned a summer practice treat. Way to go! Enjoy the end of summer and we’ll have some more fun and get back to work after school starts.

What is success?
- To laugh often and much;
- to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
- to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
- to appreciate the beauty;
- to find the best in others;
- to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
- to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
- This is to have succeeded!
