Wednesday, May 23, 2007. I'm Off to See the Operas. I’ll tell you all about it on my return. Cheers for now. Valery. This isn't really a response to this blog entry. Rather, I just wanted to write to say how pleased I am to have discovered this site, the music camp, and everything I've been reading on the site about your approach to teaching. I hadn't known about any of this before. I'll sure be telling people about it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Valery Lloyd-Watts and Carole Bigler.

Bigler~Lloyd-Watts Blog: My Heroes: Private Music Teachers
http://biglerlloydwatts.blogspot.com/2007/05/my-heroes-private-music-teachers.html
Sunday, May 13, 2007. My Heroes: Private Music Teachers. When I do workshops for my colleagues, the response is usually terrific. The kids are inspired, they are pleased with their performances and my response to them, and the teachers tell me it is a wonderful experience for everyone. Hearing the students of my colleagues perform the music they have learned and being in a position to comment about their accomplishment is a great privilege and carries with it a tremendous responsibility to do no harm.

Monday, April 23, 2007. Witnessing a Miracle of Love and Dedication. Over the past twenty-five years, Rosie has been my friend, Suzuki trainee, Mastering the Piano and Bigler Lloyd-Watts Music Camp teacher. For approximately fifteen of those years, I have journeyed annually to her studio for a workshop. It has been such a privilege to observe her ever-upward trajectory as a pedagogue. This year, there seemed to be a gigantic leap forward in the pleasure and accomplishment of her students. My attitude is ...

Wednesday, March 28, 2007. A Sight-reading Triumph for Me. OK, let’s do it! Looking at the score, I saw that the melody was played by the hight hand in the middle of the keyboard and the left hand played single notes below and chords above – in other words, crossing hands in every measure! I noticed that the key was D minor and began to count inside myself, “1 and 2 and 3 and.". I played it perfectly! So what, you might ask? It wasn’t the world’s most complex piece, was it?

Monday, February 26, 2007. Batman and the Boy Who Couldn’t Play the Piano. In the mid-1960s, the TV show Batman. Was a wonder to a 5-year old boy. Not only did my son, Lloyd, love drawing the cartoon character, he was passionate about the music. I bought the printed score and played it for him. Written by Neal Hefti, the music is clever, punchy and rhythmically complex. It took some practicing on my part to play the syncopated middle section. Eventually, he got the first and last parts down pat. I ex...

Wednesday, November 29, 2006. Music entertains, inspires and educates. Sir John Reith, the first head of the BBC, was asked if he was going to give the people what they wanted. No, he said, something better than that. We will inform, educate and entertain them. Music does this for us already! Wednesday, November 22, 2006. My Lifetime Dream of Walking in the Footsteps of Mozart and Beethoven. My trip to Salzburg, Vienna and Prague during the summer of 2006 was a pilgrimage of love and respect. The mor...

Monday, January 22, 2007. The Pay-off of Being "In the Moment". I'm happy to report that I didn’t think an edifying thought the entire week in St. Maarten. I enjoyed watching the water, sun and sand, I enjoyed the pleasure of my friends, and I recklessly enjoyed the wonderful French food. It was pretty easy to stay focused in those moments! By week's end, my walk had changed from an energetic, get-from-here-to-there-as-quickly-as-possible gait, to a relaxed, loose-limbed saunter. Friday, January 12, 2007.
