Interests: This quote says it all:
"If any man despises music, as all fanatics do, I have no liking for him; because music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. After theology, there is nothing that can be placed on a level with music. It drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. It is a gift that God gave to birds and to men."
Martin Luther~

| Hi friends!
I will be performing in a production of Victor Herbert's Mademoiselle Modiste as one of the hat shop girls and would love all of you to come! (This time I actually have two lines!)
“Often considered Herbert’s best show, Mademoiselle Modiste contains all the best that American operetta has to offer: a simple but effective story with enchanting melodies, including the popular “Kiss Me Again”." It also has over 70 strictly period costumes imitating the look of the early 1900's, plus many beautiful hats and set pieces.
Performance Dates:
Saturday, October 13, 2007 - 8:00pm
Sunday, October 14, 2007 - 2:00pm
Thursday, October 18, 2006 - 8:00pm
Friday, October 19, 2006 - 8:00pm
Saturday, October 20, 2006 - 8:00pm

| "The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music."
"The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless'd;
It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown:
His scepter show the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's,
When mercy seasons justice......
....in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy."
Shakespeare: The Merchant of Venice

| "Certainly the best works and of greatest merit for the public have proceeded from the unmarried or childless man, which both in affection and means have married and endowed the public. Yet it were great reason that those that have children should have greatest care of future times, unto which they must transmit their dearest pledges. Some there are who, though they lead a single life, yet their thoughts do end with themselves, and account future times impertinence. Nay, there are some other that account wife and children but as bills of charges. Nay more, there are some foolish rich covetous men that take pride in having not children because they may be thought so much the richer."
"But the most ordinary cause of a single life is liberty, especially in certain self-pleasing and humorous (eccentric) minds which are so sensible of every restraint as they will go near to think their girdles and garters to be bonds and shackles."
"Certainly wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity; and single men, though they may be many times more charitable because their means are less exhausted, yet, on the other side, they are more cruel and hardhearted (good to make severe inquisitors) because their tenderness in not so oft called upon."
So, I guess if you were selling wives in the 1500's an ad would go something like this:
Are you a miserly, hardhearted, single man in need of a companion?
The answer to all your problems is a wife!
According to Francis Bacon, "Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses."
Plus they make you spend money, bring out your tenderness and are great for the digestion system.
What are you waiting for! Come get your wife today! | | |
| It is a life-changing event in a piano teachers career when she makes a ten-year-old boy cry at his lesson. The most touching thing about it however, was I did not get mad at him and I had no reason to scold him what so ever. He cried because he thought the piece I played for him was so incredibly beautiful he said he could not do anything else.
You have not truly seen cute until you have seen the big, brown, puppy like eyes of my seven-year-old Indian student. Add a baby sounding Indian accent on top of it all and you have a very endearing boy on your hands. During his lesson today he told me that his mom said he could stop taking piano lessons after he finished his first recital on Saturday. In a defiant voice he told his mom, "No, I am going to keep on taking piano lessons until I can play Fur Else by Beethoven!"
Embarrassing questions from my six year old students:
"Teacher, my mom says that all women have to have their ears pierced or they will be thrown out of the country. Is that true?"
"Miss Tiffany, I don't want to be a Christian because I don't want to have to hang on a cross. Are you going to hang on a cross?"
"Miss Tiffany, I though all teachers had to be married. Why aren't you?"
"Teacher, do cows pee milk?"
Aren't they cute? Or not!
