So i was listening to the radio hoping that i could find some music that will help me continue these classes. however, i dont like my generations music so i went through my CD's and found my IDDLYWILD CD (: i was so excited i put it in and a Flood of memories came in.
i had the blessed opportunity to work the bill schlitt and robin sharp (:
they are truly amazingggggggg guys, and have such patience with a girl who had always had trouble learning music at times.
they were always readyy to lend a hand at any moment, im so blesssed i took private lessons with bill for a while and got to work with robin at iddlywild.
Robin was there really for me the most when i had to go through my emotional trials. my piano teacher of 10 years was in her final days and i couldn't help but not think of her. Robin was there saying that she would be proud of me for taking my music as far as im taking it and even prouder when i grow stronger and musically stronger. He was there for me late into the late helping me get my bongo or Timpani part down after listening to the recording over and over and overr until i got it. On the day of the performance he gave me the "i love you" hand sign and i was motivated. i said this is it, this is what ive been working for Rita and as a result for Robin as well. He grew to be a very fond friend of mine that i'll never forget in my entire life. When i called him up that my teacher Rita Kostabi had passed away he was there supportig me and encouraging me keeping my head up high for the world hasn't stopped. I called him up with i was going through my major depression due to the medical illness i have and he was there worrying about me, i've never loved and had such compassion for a instructor and friend that was there for me music and personal wise. He isn't just a instructor, but a friend that I will always keep in the back of my mind when i am playing that Timpani part or any percussion part.
Thank you Robin Sharp for EVERYTHING. literally. (:
