So in my column last week I
mentioned that I didn’t mind the fact
we were travelling around in a
snowless December thus far.
However, by the time the newspaper
hit the stands a couple of days later
there was snow everywhere, which
is alright because we all know, snow
needs to be part of the Christmas
season. Last Thursday night not only
did it look like Christmas in Auburn
but it sounded very much like
Christmas. Mrs. Suzanne
MacVicar’s music students held
their annual recital where they
played Christmas songs for a crowd
of parents, grandparents and friends
at Knox United Church.
I was very impressed with these
children who took the stage in front
of people watching them closely and
then proceeded to wow us by singing
or playing the piano. It looked like
the students have had lots of fun this
year learning. I am sure a lot of this
has to do with their teacher. I have
been involved on a couple of music
projects under Suzanne MacVicar’s
leadership and know first hand that
she is a very relaxed, patient and
encouraging leader.
One of the highlights of the
evening was the one and only music
student who we could not describe
as a child. Mrs. Crawford could have
been there as one of the
grandmothers of the other students
but she wasn’t. She was a fellow
student there to perform her piece
for the audience. She sat down at the
piano and played a Christmas song
with the same amount of experience
as the younger students. Mrs.
MacVicar introduced her as one of
the most positive people she who
knows and it showed as Mrs.
