The Teaching Experience
Traveling North, South, East and West.
Learning never stops. Only the scenery changes.
As teachers, we can never stop learning, and as players there is always more to learn. As we teach, we learn from our students and those around us each day. Together, we can learn from one another as we encourage each other on to be all that we were created to be.
The Musical Journey
Music is the strongest form of communication for a musician… thoughts and ideas brought to life by sound waves. Science says matter can store sound… what sounds are you leaving behind?
Leaving behind a legacy of learning in the pathway of life is the most hopeful result of years teaching, playing and living life to the fullest.
