Being Productive During Break

Great Moment

On Saturday night, Mr. Simas and I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a performance by Paula Cole at The Center for Arts in Natick. Ms. Cole is an amazing vocalist and one of my idols. She is a poet, a seasoned performer, a gifted singer, and an example of an artist with longevity who does not conform to the shallow, soulless business practices of the music industry today.

We were 5th row, center. After the show, Ms. Cole graciously signed my program and took a picture with me. I discovered that not only is she an outstanding artist, she is also an extremely warm person. It's nice to not be disappointed by one of your heroes!

I hope that each of my students experiences a night like this where the audience and performer become one being while the walls and the stage melt away until there is only music.
