A Quote (or 2), A Link, No Advertising
By Mike Vaccaro
(from Mike’s Musings #39, our newsletter)
I’ve kept a journal for many years, collecting quotes that I think have a message of some sort. I have also included some of my own musings about life and music. I hope you enjoy them and find them helpful.
I also urge you to keep a journal, as it always inspires me to add something new or use the journal to keep my own thinking positive.

You are totally replaceable at work.
You are not replaceable at home.
Home is your real life.
Keep that perspective.
Always!

of a horizontal desire.

A note without a sound.

Many beginning and intermediate players of music don’t understand the alphabet of music. That would be the chromatic scale. I hope this video adds some understanding to the subject. Teachers may even want their students to view and understand the video.
You may have to back it up 30 seconds to catch the beginning. Someone’s (mine!) computer is not helping.
REMEMBER:
Always be happy with where you are at,
while you are trying to get to where you want to be.
