April already?

I have added a new page to my site with regard to instruction.  Teaching music has always been a large part of my career and I feel fortunate to have worked with so many great students over the years.  I often have felt that teaching is one of the best ways to improve one's own musicianship and concept.  I always ask myself how I can convey information in a concise and meaningful way without losing the magic that surrounds learning music.  I always think back to the feeling of my first steps in learning music, becoming completely engrossed and entranced with the process.  

I am thankful that music still plays a large part in my life, and it inspires me every day.  Before I began to play an instrument I was obsessed with listening to music.  I collected it, scoured for information about it, and spent the majority of my income on concerts and albums.  I was hooked the moment I played well enough to recognize that I could play a song. Years later, I can only say that I am humbled that I have had many great musical opportunities and experiences, and I wake up each day continuing to try and improve my craft.   It has brought beauty to all the other parts of my life, and as life continues to change and evolve for me in amazing ways, I am lucky to have it with me for the ride.  Thank YOU for being part of it.  The pleasure is mine.
