Teachers

February 27, 2010 at 3:17 AM

Yesterday I had my first class with my regular teacher. It was a really interesting class!

I usually like teachers who enjoy listening to classical music. I mean, this seems to be obvious, right? It's not, though. As an example, I had a piano teacher who didn't know that the famous "Adagio sostenuto" from the Moonlight Sonata was part of a greater work, and had never heard the sonata. My present teacher, however, seems to really like the violin, and it's great to share such a passion with someone else.

Another thing I really don't understand is that many teachers I had didn't attend the local concerts. I don't know for sure, but it's strange for me to know that someone studies music, is graduated in this area, and at the same time is not interested enough to go, I don't know, once a month, and listen to live music.

Anyway, I'm now almost completing 14 days of playing without missing one day. It's not much, I know, but my first goal is to complete the "21 days" program about which Laurie posted a while ago.

And I'm starting to look for another violin! Let's see what happens next.
