Follow your dreams! Never too late!

Here is the end of 2010 soon. Want or not, like it or not, we all look back and evaluate the year. Was it a success or could have been better? I would like to summarize the year with an example. This year, amongst all my students, somehow I attracted two mature aged students, both 62. None of them was in the privileged situation of studying music at school for different reasons. However, it was time to to face a new challenge and fulfill the dream. I was the lucky person whom they turned to and trusted with the precious task of introducing them to music and prove that they are absolutely capable of making beautiful music.
There is nothing more satisfying and rewarding than seeing these otherwise successful people tackling the tasks lesson after lesson. Their commitment to coming to weekly lessons, practicing and  overcoming the temporary frustration of learning is hugely admirable.  The end result? Is like climbing Kilimanjaro and looking at the magnificent view. Glory!

Donna's Burmese cat shows special interest in the piano's strings. Maybe interested in tuning pianos!
