Post Workshop Blues

• Patricia Ahern's presentation set the room on fire. I look forward to more workshops by her. She is dynamic, organized, informed, and interesting. A violinist talking to pianists, it was brilliant. The Blues? I don't have enough time to practice what I learned, but I will try.

I was thrilled to hear her speak of learning a new instrument to stay fresh and the importance of improvisation in classical music.

Cheers,

David Story, ORMTA
