Every year I present each graduating senior in my high school piano studio class with a copy of his book and share with them my experiences as his student. During my years as his student, he did share with me glimpses into his past and sometimes reflections of these remembrances. Your testimony to his exquisite musicianship and performance is heartwarming and true. <br /><br />(On another note, as a Texan, you may be interested to know that Dean at UNT James Scott also studied with Marian Filar.)Sherry Lenichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468439890002165895.post-72945367198846858672011-02-21T14:07:10.573-06:002011-02-21T14:07:10.573-06:00Yes, it's a great book too!

All that poured into his music.Diane Allenhttp://www.myviolinvideos.comnoreply@blogger.com
