My daughter started playing the violin at age five. She’s nine now and working through Suzuki Book 6. Along the way, she’s played a lot of Bach. If you asked her whether she understands the meaning conveyed by those pieces, she’d probably say no. Yet you can tell how much she enjoys playing them. I sometimes envy that pure joy. The kind that comes directly from the music itself, without the need to analyze or explain it.

I really love when guest writers pick their people for The Substack Post! Good to know what other writers are reading.

Do not study anything, or try to influence her with words in any way. Just let her play, make mistakes. If she is an artists she will find her way, she doesn't need any body's words or guidance. Those will only hinder and weigh her down.

Her subscription list is probably the best autobiography here. 99 newsletters and picking what's worth your time. that's the real work.
