Never a truer statement! It’s so much fun to receive calls, texts, and emails from former students and to hear how their careers and lives are developing as adults. Some of them call for advice, some take lessons, others just share their excitement for the success they are having, or the frustration they feel as they strive to grow as teachers and artists. Very proud today of Matt Owens, who after many years of study with me went onto a dual career in technology and music. He has performed with me a lot as a colleague, and has a very successful teaching and freelance career. This pic is from the first solo recital of one of his students yesterday. Bravo Matt and Vivian!
