Again this year, students from ages 10-16 are studying music. They practice keyboard each day, with classes in the morning and afternoon, along with sight-reading and singing. These are the best from last year's large group. There will be one more summer of study, and then another large group will start the process. They are so much fun. Often, we just sit around and sing, or we play keyboards together. Their favorite songs? Happy Birthday and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, along with many Vietnamese songs. Ah, the international language of music.
In the summers I spend time with my good friends in Phat Diem, Vietnam, a small country village with a world famous cathedral. Here are some of my musings. If you would like to correspond, please email me: garymeegan@gmail.com.
