our fifteenth show, sorry, sixteenth show, sixteenth episode in our season.

9
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.799
And if you've been here before, you know, and welcome back.

10
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.519
And if you're new. The Sounds of Goals is based

11
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.840
on or the focus is on music. It's on music, musicians,

12
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.799
music venues, music teachers, and music schools. I'm not only

13
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.959
a radio host, but I'm also a music teacher, and

14
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.519
it's so important to for me as a teacher, it's

15
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.359
so important that my students that I work with my

16
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.680
students at their level where they're at. And you know,

17
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.560
I've had my training. I've played since i was five,

18
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.719
and not to give my age away, but I've been

19
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.439
playing over forty five years and I still take lessons.

20
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.400
And not only do I still take lessons, I surround

21
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.319
myself with other teachers, with other professionals that play music

22
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.959
and that are motivated to learn. Being a musician, being

23
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.879
a music teacher, there's never ending to learning. There's never

24
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.760
an ending to like, oh, I've learned it all and

25
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.000
I can just move on to something else. There's always

26
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.400
something more to grow on. Now, with that being said,

27
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.000
there is this A lot of people don't know that

28
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.360

29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.159
It is a music.

am honored to be a chair on the MTNA in

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.479

35
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.639

40
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.120
much she has to share with us about the Music

41
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:10.759
Teachers National Association.

42
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:11.960
Hi.

43
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.360
Hello, thank you so much Lisa for inviting me. I'm

44
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.280
very happy to be in this present to happy opportunity

45
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.439
to talk about our association because Lisa and I both

46
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.479
belong to the Bald Beach County Music Teachers Association, and

47
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.400
what we do is really remarkable. By the way, as

48
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.759
you were talking about the Music Teacher National Association, it

49
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.240
really matters. It was founded in eighteen seventy six and

50
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:54.199
today it supports thousands of teachers nationwide through training, networking, conventions, competitions,

51
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.800
and ethics standards. So it's very important that we are

52
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:06.199
proud to be part of this national association MTSA exactly.

53
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.960
And by the way, I have to say that if

54
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.159
parents want to find a teacher, you can go to

55
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:19.240
the MTNAS directory, but also our pub Beach County Music

56
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:24.160
Teachers Association has a website that features a membership directory

57
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.279
with teachers grouped by cities so that you can find

58
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:34.560
where a teacher that lives nearby. And besides that, the

59
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.240
MTNA has also published a Code of Ethics that provides

60
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.639
licensing for affiliate sponsor events. And this is a backbone

61
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.040
for professional music teaching in the United States and it

62
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.639
connects US trains, US and raises standards. Okay, so I'm

63
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.600
really glad to be part of this MTNA. But also

64
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:06.839
we have the Florida State Music Teachers Association serves nearly

65
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.920
eight hundred teachers across twenty three local associations and offices,

66
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:19.519
offers conferences, competitions, non competitive evaluations and certifications. So this

67
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.519
is very interesting and important to be part of all

68
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.879
of these associations.

69
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.879
And our small.

we recently hosted the Halloween musicale and reached the Hall

82
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.480
and pan Beach Atlantic University on Sunday, November second, and

83
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:39.360
it was a full house, wonderful student performances in costumes.

84
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:40.439

85
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.759

Lisa Evagor for her professional help in organizing such a

88
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:54.639
successful event.

89
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.079
What do you remember about that event, Lisa?

90
00:06:58.279 --> 00:06:59.279
It was so fun.

91
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.040
It was a lot of work went into behind the scenes,

92
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.120
as you know, and we had nineteen performers, all I

93
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.399
think all under for the under twelve years of age,

94
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.399
but we had nineteen performers and all different songs were chosen,

95
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.199
and the families were there to support the kids, and

96
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.480
it went very smoothly.

97
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.959
It was just it was so much fun, and I

98
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.680
know the kids really appreciated the opportunity. And I don't

99
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:33.920
know if they'll look I hope they look back because

100
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.240
they played on a grand piano, a grand Steinway.

101
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:38.439
We didn't just.

102
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.399
Play on the tupper box, you know, standard upright piano.

103
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.240
They played on a Grand stein Way. And I mean,

104
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.279
even in my lifetime, I haven't had that many opportunities

105
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.120
to play in a Grand Steinway, So it was it

106
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.199
was a treat for them to play on that, and

107
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.639
it was it's it's so nice. The A is like

108
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:07.199
a family. Like each county has a chapter and we

109
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.680
you know, we have our meetings and you know, we

110
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.399
have our connections and we have our conversations, and there's

111
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.279
just it's not only the chapters within our communities, within

112
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.399
our cities or towns, but on the website, we have webinars.

113
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.839
On the website, we have zoom classes. We have it's

114
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:32.879
like ongoing education for teachers. And I love that because

115
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.759
it teaches me different ways of looking at how to teach,

116
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.919
and then it helps me be a better teacher for

117
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.519
my students or even you know, allows uh maybe discounts

120
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:52.879
Uht Soloni.

121
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.720
I want to I want to step aside from the

122
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:59.080
mt Anda just for a moment. I absolutely love you. You

123
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:04.720
have such wonderful energy and share with our listeners because

124
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.679
for me, I grew up, I started playing when I

125
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.440
was five, I played on off my whole life. I've

126
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.080
been teaching over nineteen years. Tell us a little bit

127
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.159
about you as a person as a musician. What where

128
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.559
did your life begin with music and how did it

129
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.080
bring you to Mtna.

130
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:27.440
Well, I was born in Venezuela and my life started there.

131
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:34.039
My music, let's say, training started at the conservatory at

132
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.799
Juan Mane Olivas and I had a great teacher. She

133
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.320
was Gertihas, and this teacher told me, you know, the

134
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.679
love for music. I really loved music, and I loved

135
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:51.480
how she taught me. So I was when I was

136
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.279
a little girl. I've always thought I would like to

137
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.879
be like her. That was my inspiration. So after I

138
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:02.440
graduated from that conservati territory, I went to Philadelphia and

139
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:06.000
I got my bachelor's degree with Susan Starr at the

140
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.720
Philadelphia University of the Arts.

141
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.720
And after that I.

142
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.000
Moved to Italy, where I lived for many years and

143
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:17.120
where I had my career. I did a master's there

144
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:23.159
and with Rosanna Aboutai, and I also started performing all

145
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.440
over Italy and also many parts of Europe. And then

146
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.600
one of my sons wanted to come to the United States,

147
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.200
so I decided to come here, but I did never

148
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:41.320
finish learning because I wanted to do another master's. After that,

149
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.960
I started a PhD and I completed my PhD in

150
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:51.000
comparty studied at Florida Atlantic University in musicology and also

151
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:56.840
Italian language, culture and literature. So I as my background,

152
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.960
but my music has never abandoned me.

153
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.039
I always have been teaching for many.

154
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.840
Years, and I still teach because that gives me so

155
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.639
much joy to see how the kids grow. Teaching is

156
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.600
also a method of studying. You have to teach them

157
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.240
how to practice, and you have to teach them that

158
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.679
kind of practicing is not only helpful.

159
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:27.720
For your music, but also for your whole academic life.

160
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.320
So it's very important to let them know that that

161
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.799
method that you're teaching them for music is going to

162
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.840
be helpful also for all other subjects. So that's why

163
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.840
I'm really thrilled to be able to be a teacher,

164
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:51.440
not of music in particular, because it really you see

165
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.759
the kids how they are happy when they have an

166
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.639
opportunity to perform, like you were saying there with the

167
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.759
Halloween musical. But I'm going to talk about the other

168
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.759
opportunities that we have coming up with ouration, Can I

169
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:08.919
tell can I before?

170
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:09.320
Yes?

171
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.039
But before you before we go there, I want to

172
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.759
make a mention to our listeners and our viewers. You

173
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.519
said such an important phrase practice, you know, in our

174
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.759
day and age here and now I think from your studies,

175
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.120
from my studies because I have classical background.

176
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.600
You know, we were not taught how to practice. We

177
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.320
were taught the lesson and to play the lesson as

178
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.000
the as the lesson like almost repeat itself.

179
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.960
So growing up we look, we taught ourselves to practice.

180
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.559
So now as teachers we show up and we say

181
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.000
this is how it is good to practice so that

182
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.519
you learn it. And it's just it's so important. And

183
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.639
like you said, you use that practice whether it's piano

184
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.200
or other areas of your life. It's almost problem solving. Look,

185
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.080
how did how you break it down and look at it?

186
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:06.000
How you can you can work with it and understand it.

187
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:10.120
Because when we understand then it just comes easier.

188
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.600
Yes, exactly. And that kind of method you can apply

189
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.480
to other things like memorizing. It's very important for us

190
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.000
to be honest when we have to per form the

191
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:25.559
same thing you have to memorize some mathematical calculus or whatever.

192
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.840
It's easy if you if you are trained to do that. Okay,

193
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.159
it's easy because your brain is used to it and

194
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.919
you know, and all the other things that are good.

195
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:43.440
I mean, music really develops many many skills that have

196
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:47.840
to train ourselves, but it's also a very good training

197
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:48.519
for our brain.

198
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.320
So at every.

199
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:55.559
Age, you know, when we are we get to a

200
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:00.159
certain point, it's always good to have a music as

201
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.639
a friend because music will never abandon you and it

202
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.639
will help you keep young.

203
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.159
I have I've said this before, I think in a

204
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.799
previous show.

205
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:14.799
My oldest student is ninety five. I just see her

206
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:16.919
every other week and we have piano lessons and she

207
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:22.720
plays well. And it's just there's no age, there's you

208
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.399
can play any age.

209
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.120
You can take lessons at any age.

210
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.240
Before we get into the I know music Pamage County

211
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.000
Music Teachers Association, we have so much going on before

212
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.519
we get to that. One more question is how did

213
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.759
you find how did you come across I love that

214
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.759
you're our president? How did you come.

215
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.960
Across that the MTNA and take that step up?

216
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.919
Well, when it came from Italy and I arrived here

217
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.080
in Boca Raton, I didn't know anybody. I didn't know

218
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.840
anyone that could, you know, help me to understand how

219
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.559
to do this. I was teaching there, but it's not

220
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.919
the same as here. I would bringing my students to

221
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:09.559
the conservatory for their level exams and took competitions, and

222
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.279
so I came here and I said, okay, I would

223
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.799
like to have students. I would like to have friends

224
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.720
and teachers.

225
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.720
So one of the things that I did. The first

226
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.440
thing I did was.

227
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:27.039
To look online and I found the Poundbache County Music

228
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.240
Teachers Association, and at that time I contacted them, and

229
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.480
Ronda Danielson was the first one who helped me integrate

230
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.600
into this music world. She explained to me many things,

231
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.120
so I became I need November and she was the

232
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:49.320
one who helped me understand also how to do exams

233
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.360
to my students, because first of all I started with one,

234
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.559
and then two and then three.

235
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:55.399
I had very little students.

236
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.919
But at the same time, I wanted them to do

237
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.279
what I was doing before in Italy. So I wanted

238
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.799
them to get ready for exams and to get their certificates.

239
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.519
And it's very important to you know, to have a goal,

240
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.960
like why am I practicing? I have to know this

241
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.240
piece by memory by that date, so all those things.

242
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.559
If you have like a system and you have like

243
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.360
a method and you have a goal, it's easier for

244
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.720
you as a teacher to have them respect. It's like school,

245
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.679
right they have to do exams, and by that date

246
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.600
they have to know what I mean, it's important for

247
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:44.279
them to memorize this Onnatina or the other two part invention,

248
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.639
whatever they are studying.

249
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.960
So it's important.

250
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.480
It was very important for me just to connect with

251
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.960
other teachers to know around here what was you know,

252
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:01.840
what were the things that really matter? And and then

253
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.000
I decided to do a master's program at Florida Atlantic

254
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.559
University in piano and I was a student of doctor

255
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:15.240
Irena Kaufman and we pedagogy lessons. She also recommended to

256
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:20.839
to you know, to participate in other associations, yes, as

257
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:27.759
the Features Association. So that's why I started late, let's say,

258
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.759
in my age.

259
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.359
But I found a.

260
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.880
Beautiful world here in the United States and all the

261
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:41.480
community of teachers and students. Uh, it's very compact, and

262
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.400
it's very it's it's a huge one. But if you

263
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.920
know all these teachers, we become old friends and we

264
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.839
help each other and we want to do good for

265
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.319
the kids, right. So that's why it's so important to

266
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:01.480
have these board meetings and to try to I mean

267
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:07.000
to flourish opportunities for them so that they succeed and

268
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:13.200
they feel good about performing and also to participate in

269
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.920
many activities like the ones we are planning in December.

270
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.279
Yes, we have the music in music so I have

271
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.880
another question, but but go ahead, please share with us

272
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.400
what we have coming up. I know, but our listeners

273
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.640
don't what we have coming up for the pum Beach

274
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.400
County Music Teachers Association.

275
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.559
Yes, so we have the music.

276
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.400
So as you were telling us, it's going to happen

277
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:43.279
on Saturdays and Sunday, December sixth and seventh, twenty twenty five,

278
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.759
and it's going to be at the Wellington Green Mall,

279
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.400
and it's going to be to benefit the Hospice of

280
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.759
pul Beach County the music therapy, especially for the children.

281
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.880
And here the.

282
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:02.160
Students share the music to give back. I mean this

283
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.359
is important because we're raising funds to give back for

284
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.720
the music therapy for our other children that are not

285
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:16.000
as lucky. And every performance helps fun healing through music,

286
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:16.920
which is very.

287
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.960
Important as well.

288
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:23.079
Yes, we know that the power of music healing is

289
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.759
such a wonderful power and we want to share this,

290
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.519
let's say, this skill and this art also with those

291
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:39.279
who are less fortunate than us. And after that we

292
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.960
have a Judge Musical on Sunday, February first, twenty twenty

293
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.880
six at Pubbach, Atlantic University. This is going to be

294
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:54.720
like a competitive event where we have at four pm

295
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:58.400
younger students up to age eleven and at six pm

296
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:04.599
students that are about the twelve years old, and after

297
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:11.200
the judges will choose up to force outstanding students for

298
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.640
the annual Honors recital.

299
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.359
Yes, and then and how how I remember being a

300
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.440
judge a few years ago? But how tell our audience

301
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.920
because they don't know what does it mean to be honored?

302
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.359
Do they do receive a certification? Do they receive what

303
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.119
kind of acknowledgement do they receive?

304
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:33.480
Well, yes, they do receive a certification and they also

305
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.160
have the opportunity to play again in the Honors recital.

306
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:45.000
So this is happening later in May May third. It's

307
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.799
going to happen at the Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in

308
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:53.440
Juno Beach. Yes, and this and not only the Judge

309
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:59.599
Musical winners, but also we have another very important competition,

310
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.720
which is the Scholarship Competition. And it's going to happen

311
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.920
on April nineteenth at fun Beach Atlantic University again in

312
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:14.440
the Rinker Hall. So both winners of those both events

313
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.640
will be playing at the Honors recital on Sunday, May third.

314
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:24.279
Going back to because the next really the next upcoming

315
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:28.160
event is the music at Wellington Mall. So our listeners,

316
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.920
if you're in Florida Wellington Mall, what time on December

317
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.079
sixth and seventh would our listeners come to sit and

318
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.200
watch in or make donations?

319
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:42.240
Okay, so on Saturday and Sunday if they come around

320
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:46.279
eleven or something like that. Yet, we should have already

321
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:53.480
teachers with their studios displaying all their students and students

322
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.839
playing music, you know for Christmas music as well as

323
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:03.119
classical or jazz. Inviting not only pianists we are going

324
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.440
to have a nice baby grand piano in front of Macy's,

325
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:13.839
but also we are inviting other instruments like greens, or

326
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:16.519
flutes or singers.

327
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:16.960
Why not.

328
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:22.400
We are inviting all musicians to and you know, to

329
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:23.559
participate in this.

330
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.079
Which is great.

331
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.359

344
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:10.519
available for this event?

345
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.480
Yes, okay, good, good, yes, And that's coming up. And

346
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:16.559
then usually how long does it go to If it

347
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:18.759
starts at eleven, is it a four hour.

348
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:23.200
We go until six pm, so it's the whole day

349
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.839
practically now it starts at ten. It can start even

350
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.839
before that, but for the moment, I don't have teachers

351
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.319
that have.

352
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.920
Registered at that time yet.

353
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:39.400
We have more like from eleven to five or six

354
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:45.240
on Saturday and Sunday also we have two days. And

355
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.079
it's going to be so nice for the community because

356
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.599
you know, that's what we do during Christmas and you know, holidays,

357
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.079
we go to the mall and having all these young

358
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.960
musicians play Christmas music and you know, and sharing the

359
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:06.359
music and and for you know, to benefit this important

360
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.079
cause is going to be really great.

361
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.920
And so for our listeners, this is not just for

362
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.359
our students. If you're a musician and you want to

363
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.160
be a part of this event, like like doctor Solanni says,

364
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:25.079
go to PALM, PBC, MTA dot org and to sign up,

365
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.319
and you know you are being part of not only

366
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:31.279
our event, but you're benefiting.

367
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.160
The hospice for the children. Music is healing.

368
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.680
I know a lot of musicians out there that are

369
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:41.000
listening right now. Mark your calendars and you know, look

370
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:43.200
us up online and sign up.

371
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:44.960
We would love to have you participate.

372
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.519
The more you give, the more I believe in karma,

373
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.559
so everything you do comes back to you. So as

374
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.319
a musician, we play from our heart. So especially Christmas

375
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:02.519
time exactly the time of giving. It's a beautiful, beautiful

376
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.079
time to share your gift to it with everyone exactly.

377
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:10.240
And I would like also to say how important is

378
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:14.200
the Student Day. The Student Day is another event where

379
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.640
it's a non competitive milestone day. This is a performance

380
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.960
plus a written an oral theory and it's evaluation so

381
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.759
with the judges will give comments to the performances and

382
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:32.000
will give the levels, so the certificate so the kids

383
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.440
well Okay, so I did the fifth level. I'm going

384
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:37.839
to play the pieces and then I'm going to do

385
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:44.200
the let's say the oral and theoretical part the Britain Test,

386
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.920
and then you get the certificate. Sometimes you get the medals,

387
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.759
if you get the honors, and that's another important step

388
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.160
for their growth, so that they can see that year

389
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.519
by year they are achieving a higher level, and that's

390
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.759
very important. And our chair for the student Day is

391
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:09.000
the Jamie lober Baker and she is Yes, she's.

392
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:13.480
Also going to chair the Teacher's Showcase. That's very important.

393
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:17.400
We're going to to Yes to host this at Bob's

394
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.680
Pianos and Organs, and that's important. That's another opportunity for

395
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:27.279
teachers and students to go and perform at the teachers showcase.

396
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.119
Yes, and what is yeah? Okay, that's all.

397
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:34.880

398
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.880

And what else do we have we have?

00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:22.200
a great artist who is going to explain some excellent

408
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:30.880
tips of technique and also pedagogical ways of improving our teaching.

409
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.839
So we are looking forward to that event as well.

410
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:35.039

going to still continue to talk about our program because

437
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.440
there's things we didn't mention.

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:19.880
O gaat Yes, thank you so much.

439
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.119

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:28.039
we do in our organization.

442
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:29.599
Yankye.

443
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.680
So for our listeners, there's every year the Music.

444
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:39.799
Teachers Association, there is one big meeting and it's like

445
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:43.200
a convention. It's a I think it's three days. I

446
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:46.680
know this year our meeting. Once you remember you get

447
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:49.359
to be a part of these things. This year is

448
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:53.759
in an Amelia Island and we have a three day

449
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:59.960
convention with different music teachers, different music professions or professionals.

450
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.839
I will not personally be going this year. I have

451
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:06.359
not attended one. I think over the years has been

452
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:09.920
in like Las Vegas or Chicago next years in Chicago.

453
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.559
I can't really say exactly where it's been other than

454
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.279
that because I've only joined been a member for a

455
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:21.039
few years now. So there's just so much if you

456
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:26.799
if you're interested, check it out again PBC MTA or

457
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:31.720
just look up mtn A and you'll find your town,

458
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:37.079
your city of where Music Teachers Association is located, and

459
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:42.200
you'll also be able to find different music teachers listed

460
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:46.160
there as well. So in addition to that, I wanted

461
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:50.440
to share with you I love that doctor Solani was

462
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:53.240
on here. I wanted to also share with you that

463
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:58.920
for our families, for our students, that our listeners that

464
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.960
are taking lessons, that are supporting family members taking lessons,

465
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:10.400
you know, grandparents, relatives. When you're supporting let's say nieces

466
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:15.720
and nephews or your relatives, when you're supporting them in

467
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:20.519
their lessons, their music lessons, you're giving them a gift

468
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:24.039
for life, right, because when you learn an instrument, it's

469
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:28.160
not just like learning how I use this expression learning

470
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.680
how to make a.

471
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:31.720
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You have two pieces of bread,

472
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:34.279
you have peanut butter, you have jelly. You just put

473
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.839
the peanut butter and jelly on and put it together

474
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.359
and that's it. You made your sandwich. And of course

475
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:40.839
there's you can add.

476
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.759
Things to it, but the foundation of it is those

477
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.279
three things, the bread, the peanut butter, and the jelly.

478
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:52.319
With music, when you're a student, it's never ending. And

479
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:57.079
so whatever investments you make in your learning, in your

480
00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.319
journey for learning music, learning how to play in strument,

481
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:03.519
learning how to read music, learning how to work with

482
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:07.640
other musicians, again, it's a gift you're giving yourself for

483
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:11.440
a lifetime because it's just never ending, and it's a

484
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.440
beautiful gift. With that being said, there is so much

485
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:18.720
out there online. There is so much in the community,

486
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:24.160
so many teachers to learn from, and I mean with

487
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.240
the with Google being so accessible and with a different

488
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:31.720
technology we have, it's like there's no excuse for not

489
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.799
being able to find a teacher locally or not to

490
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.200
be able to find a community, a music community nearby.

491
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.400
And if you're not really how would you say? Some

492
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.759
of us are not great on the computer, So maybe

493
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:48.799
ask a friend or a family member to help you

494
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.920
with that, to find local musicians that you can connect

495
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.039
with other than.

496
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:59.240
That you know. I for me personally, I've been playing

497
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.319
piano since I was five. I still take lessons.

498
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:06.160
I've been playing for over forty five years, and it's

499
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.440
it's a constant. I have my little kitten here and

500
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:12.160
she's playing with my bracelets. So if you see this ahead,

501
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:17.640
if you're watching, you can probably see her, so you

502
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.319
know it's it's again a gift that keeps on giving

503
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.519
and it is an investment that continues to grow. So

504
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.920
if you've thought about being a student, if you've thought

505
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.039
about learning of a music instrument, go for it.

506
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.000
You're only gonna love it.

507
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.519
And like I said, you're giving yourself a gift that

508
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:43.240
keeps on giving. And for family and friends that are

509
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.119
supporting you, they're helping you with that as well. I

510
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:51.880
was thinking the other day there was there was a

511
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:56.720
time recently that I finished my hundredth show, and what

512
00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:59.960
it was was I did online shows around the world,

513
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.440
or I should say that we're open to around the world.

514
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:10.880
And I played music, I played piano, and I read music.

515
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.440
But when I play, I like to be original, and

516
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.800
I like to play my own, my own melodies, and

517
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:19.960
be a channel for that music to come out of

518
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.639
me and to play with the inspiration of healing. And

519
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:29.599
as doctor Solani said to us earlier, music is healing.

520
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.599
And the more we can.

521
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.079
Share music with each other, the more that we can

522
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:38.000
tap into the vibrations of healing, the more we find

523
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:45.559
ourselves maybe feeling more relaxed, less anxious. Playing an instrument

524
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.039
is a great way to to let go of anxiety

525
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:54.559
as well. You know, there there's a way to not

526
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:56.840
feel like you have to do it right, and to

527
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:58.760
just be able to sit and play.

528
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:05.159
Is just such a beautiful gift that we give ourselves

529
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:06.440
and that we share with others.

530
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.159
So we have a few minutes left and I just

531
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.559
wanted to play piano for a little while for you today.

532
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:15.559
So if you're at home, if you're in a space,

533
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.400
in a place where you can sit back and close

534
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:20.760
your eyes, go kind of take this opportunity to relax

535
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:26.079
and listen to some music, some piano music that I

536
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.800
will get to play for you, and if you're driving,

537
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.159
don't close your eyes.

538
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.119
But.

539
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:33.719
Enjoy listening to it.

540
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:58.639
And no matter where you are in life, wherever you

541
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:06.400
are in your journey, music has a way of touching

542
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:06.800
all the.

543
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:31.480
Boss m.

544
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:49.159
Lame and layer and banger and gases things suser than cats.

545
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:12.039
And they.

546
00:38:45.360 --> 00:40:06.760
Say at six days after after the doctor, don't get

547
00:40:06.920 --> 00:41:28.679
don't don't.

548
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:53.800
You don't.

549
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.079
Well, it's been a great show today.

550
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:40.679
I'm so excited that doctor Solane joined us earlier from

551
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.519
Music Teachers National Association and the fact that she is

552
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:50.960
such an inspiration to our community. If you are a

553
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:55.760
resident of Florida and live in the Boca Raton area,

554
00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:00.559

You play, it doesn't have to be piano.

564
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:43.280
And also what Robert said earlier in our show, and

565
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:47.440
I'm so excited that there's so many different opportunities for

566
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:52.599
musicians to be a part of sharing your gift with

567
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:57.880
our listeners, our audiences, our live audiences, especially at the

568
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.760
