Love it, learn it, live it...

Each day I work with my Da Capo students, I am
convinced that love it, learn it, live it is the
right approach! Each week, I see my students, young
and old, coming to me with excitement and a real
passion for what they do!
We study hard learning
about the voice or the piano, music history,
musical terms and language, notes, and rhythms.
Over the course of our time together, we talk
about how we've shared our music with others or
how we plan to do that in the coming week. The
students almost always leave feeling encouraged
about themselves and the music they made that
day. Yes, we work hard each time we come
together, but it is always worth it!
I tell my students all the time that there is no down-side to making/studying music. This is so true! What a wonderful way to spend your time-singing, playing, composing, listening. It does require discipline, practice, and determination. However, look at the opportunities it provides for self-expression, personal growth and development, and exposure to the beautiful things in life.
I encourage all of you as readers to spend your time making music.
