Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

- My Teacher and Professor -

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"

Jennifer Proxenos October 9, 2019 at 1:46 PM 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.
