My lessons with Mary are wonderful, and so different! Mary is reminding me how joyful music can be! I am learning to let that joy be the reason I practice and play. Mary is so patient and so good at helping me learn to relax. For the first time I am getting a sense of the beautiful flow that can come with playing a musical instrument.
The time we spent working on my bowing technique [in lessons] and breaking a life long habit has been helpful on fiddle and on cello at school.
[Through lessons], I am able to appreciate music more since learning by ear.
Irish music is more compelling to me than ever before, especially with my involvement in ensemble and performances.
Overall since I started [taking lessons] a few years ago I’ve become much more engaged with music.
