Episode 127: Lesson with Lynda, pt.1
Thanks for the emails, everybody, and Facebook messages (if you’re a Facebooker, I hope you’ll be my friend:-) It’s always good to hear from so many of you. I’m glad you liked meeting Hadyn, too. I am so envious of his adventurous spirit! He has taken his Trombone Love to a new level, eh? We were all very glad to meet him, for sure.
In this Episode, I have decided (as many of you have advised and requested) to get back to basics: learning to play the trombone. Truthfully, the Podcasts were originally intended to do just that. So, I found a very courageous volunteer in Lynda Jones. She’s been playing trombone for just 1 year, after spending 20 years in the US Army….. as a horn player!
I love to teach, that’s a fact. Hopefully, many of you do, too. Having done it now for so many years and with such a diverse studio, I find it more enjoyable now than ever. The goal of the teacher, in my opinion, is to inform and inspire simultaneously. A good teacher knows a lot about the student: background, goals, habits of thought, etc. One sure way to stay inspired yourself is to endeavor to do all you can to help students fulfill their potential…..
Thanks again, Lynda, for being a willing participant!
