Meeting Greatness
What I thought was a typical keyboard lab training today turned out to be a fantastic experience meeting one of my all-time music technology idols, Dr. James Frankel! Little did I know (because I haven’t been reading much of my email lately) that he was going to be the presenter and representative from Soundtree for our VH1 Save The Music Keyboard labs. I was flustered as if meeting a celebrity! Dr. Frankel’s blog and podcasts have been an inspiration to me in my teaching of music technology. He was instrumental in my decision to minor in music technology during my Masters and has virtually helped me along many bumpy paths working with GarageBand, podcasting and other avenues I’ve stumbled upon. It was so great to meet him in person and put a name I’ve known for years with a face (which I thought looked MUCH younger in person than in his photos!) And what a compliment to hear that he’s been reading and following my blog too! So here’s a big shout-out to Dr. Frankel and keep up the great work you are doing for teachers and students at Soundtree. Who knows, perhaps if this teaching gig gets too painful I can always go work for them!
