I have to be honest and admit I was hesitant to join the virtual class, but I am so happy I did. Is it different than going to my usual class? Sure it is. But I still have fun, I still feel a sense of connection knowing that people from my own class and from all the other classes are singing along with me, even if I can’t hear them. It brings a bit of (much needed) normality to my Tuesday nights, seeing Mary lead the class and the other teachers being the “students”. I always end up laughing and I can continue doing something I love and enjoy. I’ll definitely be signing up for terms 2 and 3 and hopefully, someday soon, we’ll all be able to sing together again!
