Many of you may have noticed that I have not been on MyLot for quite a while. The reason was because my husband was very sick and has now died. I simply did not have the time for MyLot. Since his death, I have been buried with...

One of my Friday piano students is a cute little boy of five. His parents and grandparents speak a foreign language, and I believe it to be one of the Chinese languages. All of the adults bring cameras into our lesson room, and...

The Horse @changjiangzhibin89 Ah, thanks for the info. If I had ten of me, I'd study a bit of Chinese. As I understand it, Chinese characters convey meaning, not sounds. That is why all Chinese can read a "Chinese newspaper." But the various dialects are quite distinct....

I tend to name all animals that I come in contact with. My Dad did, too. He managed to also eat some of those named animals. I guess he was content that he had provided a good life for the animals before they were...

Yesterday and today have been rainy spring days here in our neck of the woods. Today, in particular, is very windy, gusty actually. Not a nice day at all. I am always very happy that I work at home on days like today. My...

The Horse Twinkle Twinkle (is it also the ABC song there? Wait! Do Chinese people lean the English alphabet in school?) is a great teaching tool because it is a simple melody and a young piano student does not have to move his or her hand to play it.

I remember years ago my first mother-in-law would periodically have to relight the pilot light to her hot water heater. It involved matches, or a twist of paper to ignite the gas with. Same in my first marriage. Hubby twisted the...

Wednesday is "kid day" for The Horse at Guitar Center.. As a bit of a rebel, and a Dave Brubeck fan, I encourage my kid students to be "creative," and to generate their own "compositions," in addition to reading and playing the...

The Horse I do not totally agree. I believe in balance. The balance between reading others' notes (like a good boy) and being creative (like an artist). For me, one of the question is when to be relaxed, and let the kids "do what they want," versus when to rein them in...

Anna We were aware of that, we need a licensed plumber to come every year to replace the water filter. We have so many annoying laws here. I understand they are to "protect" the health of people, but they are annoying and expensive.
