One of the great joys of teaching is when we get visits from former students. I say 'we' because many times when I'm working with one student in the studio the next student would be sitting in the living room waiting for their lesson. During those times my wife would visit with some of them talking about some common interests like painting, climbing 14ers, science projects, and of course music.
The majority of my students did not go into music as a profession, they followed different paths- Engineers, Upholsteres, School Teachers and Principals, Doctors, Sommeliers. Some became professional Percussionists far exceeding my abilities.
Each and every one of them has given us a wealth of fond memories.

Thank You to all of you.
I am certain you have made an impact on many young people!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Jerry. I know how you feel. Your blogs keep getting better. It will be like when I taught you the drums. You'll be better than me (arguably you probably are there already!).
