Welcome to "Just A Note"!

Hello piano students and fellow musicians!  "Just A Note" has been created for several reasons:

1) For use by my students. 

2) For my own benefit in doing research and posting my research.

3) For other musicians to enjoy and to comment.

I hope that it will be beneficial to you in your musical studies.  I welcome any suggestions or questions you may have.  I also hope that my love for music will be infectious and that you will seek to make it your own!  One thing I love about music is that it allows us to express what words cannot.  Even now I find it difficult to describe the satisfaction I get from sitting at the piano late at night and "performing" to my heart's content while all others are dreaming in a different form.  Music is more than just notes.  It's more than just a rigid structure of bar lines and time signatures.  Expression of those notes and measures depends entirely upon the musician.  My hope is to help you gain an understanding of what music is, where it comes from, and how it can benefit you.
