Teaching a Dream
Music is a joy for him
Teaching guitar is what he loves most,
Fingers plucking at the strings,
Twinkling out some notes.
Ev'ry student moves at their own pace,
Learning song by song,
But he's always there to help,
Never to steer them wrong.
He teaches of rhythm, tone and dynamics,
To make the music more precise,
But also to make it come alive,
He gives them some advice.
He says you have to get into the music,
To make it beautiful,
Look beyond what is really there,
so it doesn't sound dull.
For him, teaching is a dream come true,
It's like a blessing sent from above,
and as always he tells me,
Do always what you love."
- Serena Doyle, 13
