Piano By Ear Songs 101-Year-Old Master Pianist: “At first glance, she was elderly and delicate. But then she sat down at the piano to play. This woman, referred to as ME to preserve her privacy, experienced a stroke-like attack when she was in her 80s, and a few years later was diagnosed with vascular dementia. Today she is full of verve and can play nearly 400 songs by ear and  has even composed an original piece.”

Some teachers have changed the way I think Mr. Hagen was a retired teacher and music professor To me, he was a teacher with infectious mathematics delight The first few weeks I was a bit overwhelmed - he drew interesting lines between math and science history in general He understood how the students thought, so that he could give them the best possible feedback to support and further learning Enthusiastic and inspiring ... word that says a lot When our heads and bodies got tired he gave us a classical concert at the piano He always said : "Without music, life would have been a misunderstanding" 08/10/2019 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Favorite Teacher or Professor Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke 2nd place in the contest

I agree with your music professor what would life be like without music, classical, opera, pop, jazz and rock bands - too quiet, silence is not always golden. Hugs Anne-Lise and blessings, Jenny.

A great tribute to teachers and to teaching. We should never forget my beloved friend, Anne-Lise, that " A teacher affects eternity! " Think of Socrates...and so many other teachers in history of humanity! Take care! Hugsxxx

I'm so glad for your supportive teacher. I had many I loved, but couldn't write about them all. Yours must have been very special. Love your poem and best wishes in the contest, Prayers, Gina
