What's Our Story?

Once upon a time musicians and artists were respected, and teachers were considered professionals engaged in teaching skills to others.  The rubbish about performers/artists teaching because they cannot cut it as performers is a load of nonsense. Australia is a small industry so work opportunities in performance are not always easy to come by, hence, performers teach their art to others. 

As someone who's performed, taught and worked and lived the arts industry, it was never considered shamefull to provide knowledge and skill to others. It's a legacy and when someone 'gets it' it is as real as the applause after a performance. Teaching is an art-form and conveying ideas on stage or in classes that can change people, make an impact that is positive and worthy.

If I hear another music or performance teacher at a gig telling me he's ONLY a teacher during the day or on certain nights to supplemental income I hope he/she reads this blog and get a thought adjustment.

JS Bach was an active music teacher, he said: "Just practice diligently and you will do very well. You have five fingers on each hand just as healthy as mine." Bach to Bjork; who wants to teach music and sang this year with the Gravity Harp, which combines computer technology with wood wires, and Pendulum in a night that demonstrated dialogue between music past, present and future, it is worth knowing that conveying of skill is VIP work and everyone has to learn and everyone has the opportunity to teach. 

Hey check out the Gravity Harp. Can someone send me the music link:
