New Group of Students

I started working with a new group of students yesterday.  They are also from the music school and will go to a university in Poland to study music.  The majority of them play the piano, but there is one tuba player, one french horn player and two singers.  We divided them into two groups because about half of them speak fairly good English; the others struggle with it a little more.  The girl in the yellow is not a music student.  Her mother works at the school and asked if she could sit in on the class while she is out for summer vacation.  All of the students are all very nice and very dedicated.  They have spent many hours a day practicing in order to study music in a university.  They are nervous and excited about going to Poland.  Their biggest worries are the language, the food and getting lost.  (I can really relate to their fears.)  They are very excited to move on in their education even though it means they probably won't see their families for about four or five years.  I admire them for their courage at such a young age.
