Today, a very warm summer afternoon, I suddenly remembered my teacher who passed away in 2004.  Our lessons were more philosophical instead of musical, spending 40 minutes to talk and 20 to sing. 

I went to youtube and found the following videos of one of her students who sounds exactly like her.  If the videos  are old, then imagine how old my teacher was when I had lessons.

My sister told me today she plans to enroll at Juilliard again then I had a fleeting thought: what if I enroll in voice too?

Then a chuckle..

Then a tear...  Maestra, I miss you...
