I'm Back!
Well, I made one entry on this blog, and then got caught up in preparing to go to Hawaii, of all places! Why Hawaii? My daughter just graduated from high school, and Grandma (my mother in law) wanted to take her to Hawaii to celebrate. Mom and Dad got to tag along. It’s rough, but someone has to do it.
Taught a class at Brevard Community College on Tuesday (June 14). A brilliant group of 20 people. What made them brilliant? They laughed at my jokes! No, actually, they were all eager to learn, and ready to stretch themselves mentally and musically, and that makes it a real joy for me.
One of the advantages of teaching these classes is that everyone who attends is there because they want to be. This is something they want to learn. Many of my students have been looking for a way to get “back to the piano” for many years, and this class provided them a way. Nothing beats seeing the look of excitement and enthusiasm on their faces, as they realize that the world of music making is not closed to them.
I have a few more classes to teach before “closing down” for the summer. I’ll be continuing to teach privately, while looking for new places to present my piano workshops in the fall and on in to next year.
If it sounds good, it is good!
