Father’s Day in the Language of the arts!
So, you hear, “Happy Father’s Day”, and think, “I have no children”.
Well, you couldn’t be more wrong.
I don’t know of a person in the arts who hasn’t owned a pet, a plant, mentored a young student, or taught.
We forget that when we hover over someone to help them achieve their goals, we are indeed fathers, and mothers for that matter, and I apologize for missing Mother’s Day. I’ll try not to make that omission again in the future.
Over the Sixty years I have been a piano technician, I have stretched a lot of wire. But that doesn’t compare to helping someone find the right teacher, or the right school, or the right career path.
So, Happy Father’s Day to me, and to all of you who do the same. You know who you are.
Remember, our goal as teachers and mentors is to move forward the path of humanism through the arts, and to make our students better than we are, the sign of a great teacher.
Continue knowing you are evolution, as nothing moves the needle on evolution as does the arts, NOTHING!
