There are two kinds of enjoyment.
There's superficial, or surface-level, enjoyment. This is the enjoyment you get from grabbing a soda, eating your favorite food, or watching Netflix.
And then there's deep enjoyment. Deep enjoyment is harder to find.
But it's the enjoyment that connects you to your deeper self. The enjoyment you achieve from learning a new piece of music at the piano. Or from learning something about yourself that you didn't know before.
Or even just enjoying what it means to be alive with a few deep breaths.

But when you find deep enjoyment, that's when you learn what it really means to be alive.
Never miss a blog post!
For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.
