Artists

I remember almost all of my art and music classes from the beginning school years through college. I still dabble in things when I have the time and inspiration.

My only incentive for going to school were the art classes and assemblies where, in Maine where I lived then, there was a program that had classical quartets and chamber ensembles travel to all the school districts in the state. They would play and then explain the history and construction and purpose of their instruments and then play some more. It was a fantastic program. We also learned to read music in the second grade along with English and a second language! Imagine, second grade.
