Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365 Private Celebration

“It’s fine. They were just exaggerating,” Tessa answered humbly.

“No. You’re being modest. You have no idea how much our music director regrets booting you out of the orchestra after he heard the live recording.”

Tessa smiled. “Honestly, I’m grateful that I got the boot, or I might have never met Miss Hathaway.”

“Miss Hathaway is a great teacher. I can see that she pours her heart and soul into developing you.”

“Yes. She helped me a lot on this path.”

“Your skill and transition has also improved greatly. I believe you’ll be making an official appearance soon.”

“I’m not in a hurry. I want to train more,” Tessa told him her plan. “Miss Hathaway thinks I need more training too.”

“I can see that she has made plans for you.” Scott smiled.

Tessa nodded. “She said I can take my time for the performance. She wants me to gain experience and build my foundation. Miss Hathaway says I can be in too much of a hurry, so it’s hard for me to get into the zone.”

“Miss Hathaway is correct. Sometimes you’re in too much of a hurry to give a good performance,” Scott analyzed. “You can get into the mood no problem, but you’ll have to get into the zone to express the mood. Your skills are not a problem, but getting into the zone is.”

Tessa listened closely, and she agreed. “That’s what Miss Hathaway told me too. She said I can only improve through training and expanding my horizons.”

They chatted for a while longer, and Scott stopped in his tracks. Tessa looked at him curiously, and he handed her an old sheet music book.
