I should get a camera, so to put some pictures up here. It was the students’ winter concert today and one of my students was playing. It would be good to post a picture here.
Ben played a song which we had composed together: “Finger Factory”, and he played quite well, in tune, and in good poise and good tone, with good timing and all. There was a lot of positive feedback from the family, and the other teachers. Marlyn, the percussion teacher, was impressed and agreed that more of students should do their own composition.
There is no reward better than this. To see, to the best of your ability, that you’ve done the right things to a good extent, that it is in line with what you yourself aim for and that others who seem to care agree. That’s best!
This started years ago as a personal journal of my practice of music, movement, teaching and learning in general. After some years of inactivity, I decided to pick it up again. Here you will find thoughts, questions, curiosities, dilemmas, fears, hopes, and reflections. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Persian, on occasion resembling poetry, and also hopefully some music too. Note: This blog is a personal one, not associated with the organization I help run.
