The Boy Who Said Wow

07/07/2024

Amazingly, I am now in my 50th year of teaching violin and piano! And, no, I have no plans of retiring! I started my career as a teenager. In this slice of life, I sometimes feel that I am just now coming into my own with a deep understanding of the role of music in life. Plus, I have lots of energy! This intersection of experience + energy is what makes me just as enthusiastic about the upcoming year as I was way back in 1975. I am planning some special ways to mark this special year.

Spring recital! This was a little smaller group due to all the year-end events going on. Our recital was short and sweet! Everyone was poised and prepared. This recital marked a first for me personally. For the first time, I had one of my grandchildren perform! Quincy (orange & green shirt) played both violin and piano on the program. I'm so proud of him and all the students!

We express our innermost emotions and values through music and the other arts.

During World War II, Steinway & Sons air-dropped pianos with large parachutes and complete tuning instructions into the battle for the American troops. Called the Victory Vertical or G.I. Steinway, the pianos were to provide a bit of relaxation/morale booster. The pianos came in olive, blue, and gray drab.

By the end of the war, Steinway & Sons had provided about 5,000 pianos to the U.S. military around the world. They had 4 sons and a few cousins who served. (Source: Love Classical Music)
