I am back!!!

Hello folks....sorry for the very long silence. I have been distracted, preoccupied, busy....and lazy...!!!

Just came back from attending a music workshop in Singapore. It was an inspiring time. It was a Dalcroze workshop - learning music through movement. The presented is a 74 years old (!!!) lady called Joan Pope. Honestly, I haven't seen such a sprightly 74 year old before...she danced, she leaped, she skipped, she sang, and played the piano...talked from 9am - 4 pm every day for three consecutive days. I found out later that the 3 day workshop I attended was just the tip of an iceberg. Joan went on to give another 6 day workshop after we left. Just thinking about it makes me breathless!

As I said, it was an amazing time. Hah...I did complained about my poor achy bones during the workshop but truly I came back, freshly inspired and challenged to practice what I have learned.

Today was the first lesson for two of my music classes....it's really great to see all the kids again, and I hope to continue to make music class a fun and learning experience for them.

And...I promise to write more often ya....
