What a year it has been! As the school year wraps up, I find myself looking back with a full heart. This year brought so many wonderful performances, and getting back to teaching after our second little one arrived has been such a joy. It’s hard to believe that baby number two has already turned one. Where does the time go?

Now for the exciting part: we are thrilled to announce that we are expecting baby number three!

With that news comes a bittersweet goodbye. I have made the decision to step away from my teaching position for the coming school year. I love this work so deeply, and I love my students even more. Watching each of you grow as musicians this year has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. I will miss you all so much.

But our family is excited for what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to welcome our third child. Thank you to everyone who made this year so special. Here’s to a beautiful summer, and to the next chapter!

With love, Sophie
