At an early hour this morning, I was awakened by the wind.I certainly didn't plan to get up at that hour, so I began to plan my week. Among all the other things I do, I think about specific piano students and the problems or successes they are having. Every day there are students who show me how really smart they are. Many of you are involved in a vast number of interesting activities that I can only imagine. One student has been in Cambodia for several weeks helping in an orphanage. Many opportunities arise each day that give you experiences that broaden your education. When you sit down to concentrate on your musical education, I hope you will realize that it is a privilege you should not ignore. Music can touch your heart and soul like no other activity. In the past two weeks, my blog has mentioned Elvis and Dolly. It amused me when students had never heard of these two people who seemed common to me. I guess that is why I write to you. I want you to experience music and musicians you normally might overlook. I grew up with experiences that might surprise you. I have traveled very little and live vicariously through books and people who do travel. Maybe you can travel along in my musical world occasionally.
Please see that you bring all your assignments and practice them too. Try to amaze me with your abilities this week. If you never answer the blog questions, you need to do it. You might get a converation going with your parents or grandparents about the answers. It might surprise you.
