Rob, thanks for your reading and commenting on this post! I agree that I cannot fathom what life would be like without music. I hope you’ll continue to read and enjoy my posts!

Carolyn, thanks for your comment! I agree that music is a form of communication and makes people feel certain ways. I hope you will continue to follow and read my blog!

Yes, it’s interesting how many people have heard of Tillsonburg because of that song! It’s a beautiful area to live and teach music. Thanks for signing up to receive my updates. I look forward to future interaction with you here on my site! Great FB username!

Thanks for the comment, Howard! It’s great to connect with Canadians who live in other areas. I’m sure you miss having today off work but am glad you still remember our Canadian holiday!

Thanks for reading and commenting, Sandy! You are definitely correct that teaching a five year-old is not a simple task! To clarify, I was referring to a parent who wants to help his child practice between lessons. You will notice that I changed the wording to be more clear so thanks for pointing this out to me! Certainly I agree that a skilled teacher is a worthwhile investment. However it is also helpful when parents take an interest in what their children are learning by learning the basics themselves!
