I have a student who is one of three identical triplets. (They did a dance together at the last pep assembly - so mind blowing!)
He and his brothers are all musical, and the brother of my student (brother = Alex) has written three pieces that the Tucson Symphony Orchestra has played (insert clapping, screaming, and immense amounts of pride here)!!!!!!!
His latest is called "Heart of the Irish Dancer". It was so cute as Gio (my student) was very excited to tell me about the piece - almost as excited as I was to hear it! He said that he was helping his brother with a part of it around St. Patrick's Day, when I played a few Irish songs at school, and some of the songs we played helped them think through a part of the song. How COOL is that!?!?! Even just to instill a little love of Irish music, and to support the creative genius of two awesome 17-year-olds...how great is my life???
I am so proud of both of them (even though I've only met his brother once)!
Enjoy a listen :)
