I am a part time piano and voice teacher, and fall lessons begin today. Little people, small individuals made by God will move in and out of my home, learning notes and rhythms and hand positions and breathing exercises. But will they learn to love the gift of music, will they catch the joy that is in it by my words, by my smiles, by the encouragement that they really can do it? Because that is my greatest desire…not that they come out of here as musical prodigies, with perfection oozing from their musical pores. I want them to have joy when they play and sing; I hope that they feel closer to the God who loves them when they sit at the piano or sing in their room. And only then will I be a good music teacher. Slainte, Lisa
“Shout for joy to the Lord all the earth…come before him with joyful songs.” – Psalm 100:1-2
Think About These Things 
What a wonderful experience your students have to look forward to. WOW!
I hope so…thank you for the encouragement. 🙂
you are infectious….if they don’t it won’t be because they haven’t been exposed
Ditto right back at you…when I think of you, I always see that happy smile looking at me. 🙂
Hey Mom, Is it already that time of year again? Let me know how your lessons went! 😀
They went very well…I have lots of new students this year, and everyone was very excited and on their best behavior. I tried to get everybody psyched about the music. 🙂
I always feel closer to God when I’m playing music, either on piano or guitar.
Ditto….music is such a gift in so many ways.
