Keep Your Passion Alive
Sometimes life gets so busy and I forget to take time for myself. With all of the babysitting I’ve been doing and other events going on in our family, I haven’t had time to play the piano lately. As a musician, it has been like living with an incomplete soul. This morning I pulled out one of my favorite books and began playing some music by Suzanne Ciani. If you’ve never heard her music or played it, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s beautiful, relaxing piano music of the New Age genre.
Music Interpretation Improves With Age
I have played the piano since I was four years old and have a music degree. I remember when I was in college that my piano professor told me I needed to put more feeling into my music. She mentioned this over and over throughout my four years studying with her. At the time, I thought that I was putting adequate feeling into my playing and wondered why she harped on it so much.
What Are You Leaving Behind?
One of my favorite quotes is:
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.
—Pericles
