My former student Noelle Ballard just announced she is the new Band Director at Benson Middle School in Benson, NC. Noelle, I’m so proud of you!!

Happy Birthday to Frédéric Chopin, composer of exquisite piano music. He has been with me in good times and hard times and occupies a large space in my heart. I’ve always thought my hands looked like his. He would be 213 today! 💗🎶

Happy Birthday, Mozart - January 27th January 27th is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birthday. In honor of it, I pieced this video together.

A violinist played for 45 minutes in the New York subway. A handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist raised about $30 in tips.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a Boston theatre, and the seats averaged about $100.

The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued.

There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow.

Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it’s telling you where you are isn’t enough!

Go where you are appreciated and valued.

Know Your Worth.
