Rewriting Myself as a Musician and Educator

The past week was a journey I never had the courage to take. But it turned out to be the most exciting and illuminating one: a time of growing as a musician, educating myself as an educator, and getting to know myself better as a person.

I realised that I had been afraid of the very things I most needed to understand. Once I encountered them, they opened so many doors I didn’t even know existed. Like the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, I’ve woken up to a world far more exciting than the one I knew before.

Okay, that’s enough romanticising! Now I’m off to watch these two lectures by two legends I was fortunate enough to meet recently (And I need to figure out a way to embed videos on my website. These links look ugly!):

“Music Education in the 21st Century”
