In RMM you can't get behind - It's not a race!

We're back in full swing with classes! Thursday night one of our adult students, who has been out of class since before Christmas break, was back in class. After class, she mentioned that she'd been apprehensive about returning . . . afraid that she would be too far behind to catch up. She was pleasantly relieved to find that she was able to play with the class and have a good time. Debra Perez used to say something like, "RMM (Recreational Music Making) is not a race - you can't get behind." This student's comments were a reminder as an RMM facilitator to continue spiraling back and to always be mindful of a comfortable pace for each student and for the class as a whole. Happy New Year Everyone! Happy Teaching!
