    Dec 31 2025

    As we enter the new year, this short episode is meant to give you food for thought as you set your goals or intentions for your music life in the new year. That could be for your own music practice or for your child(ren) involved in music lessons.

    Whenever you listen, I hope it gives you some good starting points to think about your own goals and intentions for the coming months.
