No wonder my students are laughing at me! First, I am trying to upload a photo of a male musician friend of mine onto my website, and it ends up as my screensaver! Hey! People will talk! Then I can’t get my business registered on the google business center account until, in addition to listing the words, “piano teacher,” “piano lessons,” “wedding pianist,” and “children’s piano teacher,” I also add “dentist.”
Today a friend of mine who is in graduate school, where she is taking a philosophy class, emailed me and some other friends to ask us if we’d answer seven questions, including “what is the meaning of human history?” and “what is the nature of ultimate reality?” Finally, something easy! I thought.
Seriously, I love learning the technology, and I know it will make me a better teacher; however, it was great this morning to wake up to the quiet of the early morning and write a poem without the use of a machine, just with my human hand and my human heart, and contemplate the season’s changing — when the lessons we’re supposed to have learned this summer, at least according to an old teacher of mine, start coming at us really fast.
