Today I looked up the word vacation in Webster's. I had to give a 60 second talk about my business this morning and was searching for something to talk about! I've been on vacation from piano teaching for the last week and a half and so my thoughts went to that as my subject.
Vacation, besides meaning taking a break from the usual routine, means intermission. I related my vacation to an intermission at a concert. The musicians take a break from the stage so that it can be refreshed or new musicians added. My intermission, though not a physical one as we didn't go anywhere, was a mental one. I took a break from thinking about my students, planning for my students, and teaching my students. Now I can return next week with a fresh stage for new teaching ideas for each of my piano students at my Lakewood, NY and Bemus Point, NY locations in Chautauqua County.
Fresh ideas and attitudes means more enjoyment for me in teaching and my students in learning piano.
I hope my students have also taken an intermission and are ready to return to the stage with great attitudes and enthusiasm for practicing and playing piano.
