I run a little program with my students where I keep track of their practicing. One student walked in today, head hanging low, and announced she had practiced but 15 minutes. I decided it was time for action. We reviewed her amount of practice over the past 6 months or so and determined that she was in need of some inspiration. First I picked out a few YouTubes, then I launched into a discussion of why art was important to man and it was needed as part of a healthy life. To often it is crowded out in our hectic lifestyles. And so I thought I would share the same on the blog. Take a minute to practice, to create something beautiful and the rest of your life will be the better for it. Oh and make sure to watch this YouTube.
