Kendall, Actually, Bjork to my ears is great. Her "band" was unrefined, yes i agree, but I liked that, kind of like a " atonal wind up music box". Her movie Dancer in the Dark was a beautiful piece. She starred and sang all the music. Yes, that comment was a bit misunderstood, I am looking forward much more to our Brandenburg's, though the conductor will most likely flip out when he hears my ornaments for the minuet and trio. The "jeez" was for the triple platinum for the Arctic Monkeys....wow triple or double platinum in either a few hours or days...crazy.
Good for you and your philanthropy, I will hope to be in a position to offer those opportunities you speak of in the future. While I give many free lessons over the year, my lesson rate is expensive too. Personally, I am not looking to have a huge studio of younger students, maybe if all of them were practicing 3 hours a day!! Usually a young student will come in and I will refer them to another teacher I trust in the area, free of charge of course. Mostly it because the parents cannot meet my requirement to be at the lessons. That method works well from my perspective. all the best, Matthew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
