Summer Reflections
Friday, July 28, 2023 by Billy Roberts | Reflection
As another summer heads to a close, I’m thankful for the extra family time and opportunities for reflection that I’ve had over the past two months. It’s also been nice having the freedom to practice whatever I feel like without a structured routine or deadlines. Growth in some areas may stall over the summer, but being able to explore other interests makes it worth it. While I’ve cut back tremendously on my personal amount of horn playing and singing, I’m really enjoying my routines with piano and learning French.
I’m beginning a year-long certificate program in piano pedagogy in August, and I’m looking forward to being better able to serve piano students as well as gaining knowledge that will carry over to other areas. Teaching in general is a very interdisciplinary field. Gaining a better understanding of teaching in any specialty carries over into better teaching in other areas. Ultimately, it’s all about learning how to communicate and connect with the students. I'm enjoying the journey.
