"If you seriously want to make a core shift in the way you think, have a stronger mind and make your body younger, then the study of
music will do it for you. Studies show that relaxing by actively playing music, as opposed to passive activities such as watching television, produces a biological response to stress that goes all the way to the DNA level. Heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rates are reduced and HGH levels are increased which helps to reverse aging and promote youthfulness and vitality. Perhaps the most important contributing factor to great health and long life is to be happy - and playing music is simply a happy joyful experience." Joanne Jolee

STARTING
Sometimes the toughest thing about going somewhere is just starting. You have to get past the mental blocks and the reasons why not. After you commit to the first step, then you will be in motion. Consistency and dedication will get you the rest of the way.

PROGRESS
Progressing through life can be painful. If you seek to achieve, then there is the pain of training, which is accompanied by hopes and dreams. If you try to avoid the pain of discipline, then there will be the pain of regret, much heavier and more difficult to bear.

DETAILS
One of the reasons that music students typically do well academically is because of their training in observing detail. To play even a simple classical piece requires focused observation of notes, fingering, timing, and phrasing. In life, this translates to paying attention to the little things that show you care, that can prevent a slight miscalculation that results in a tragedy, and that over time leads to excellence.

REVIEW
From time to time it’s important to review
previously learned works, to look back, and see
how far you’ve come. Perhaps farther than you
thought, perhaps not far enough. Here you gain
new perspective and new realizations .

CADENCE
Everyone wants a happy ending – like a symphony
arriving at a proud perfect finale. But life isn’t
always like that. There are imperfect cadences and
the rude interrupted cadence that leaves you
unsettled and wondering what is next.

RECITAL
A recital is an accomplishment of work and
a celebration. How should a performance best
be measured with the varied reactions that come
from audiences? At the end of the day, the
performer himself must have the confidence
and satisfaction of a job done to the best of his ability.
