PERSONAL HISTORY

EVERY GOOD BOY DOES FINE

A life in piano lessons.

This wonderful article brought out a few important points to me.

For those of us who are teachers, coaches, mentors etc.; the greatest purpose is our example of practice.

For those of us who are students (that’s all of us). Learning takes place during practice not during instruction.  We learn by doing, experimenting and redoing.
