Childhood Music Lessons May Provide Lifelong Boost in Brain Functioning
A short conversation with a student recently revealed something I hadn't thought of. Everybody enjoys streaming Netflix. It's accessible, affordable, and the best way to enjoy high end, high-def blu-ray content without spending $30+ per disc. Tons of great content, both classic and new (well, somewhat new). It was just a few years ago you could only stream a limited selection of movies to a PC. Now you can stream to a Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, select Android phones, and all major game consoles. Blu-ray players and televisions now come with built-in Netflix apps, which I believe has really allowed the company to expand to where it is today. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. ~ Marty McFly
Today was indeed a red letter date for me. I completed a practice goal that I had set for myself over a year ago. That goal was to complete an intensive study in clarinet technique. It began I believe 2/19/2010, and ended today 4/8/2011. Over 140 hours of practice, on a very regimented schedule. I had completed a very similar process on the saxophone during my college years. So similar in fact, both the saxophone and clarinet technique books have Jack Snavely in common.
I teach and perform on saxophones, clarinets, flutes, and bassoons in the greater Milwaukee area.
