Over Forty Years ago I embarked on what has been quite an amazing journey that since my academic years have led to an award-winning ,music compositions, lyric writing , playing and collaborating on over 700 songs.
Since I taught as well many different students 8 to 80 years in singles and groups this led me into an interesting turn as I wrote a book called
Practice Personalities for Children
What`s your type ?
While working with my different students I noticed that Adults indeed had there particular mannerisms and that would lead me in to writing a book about working with their personality traits as well when it came to practicing music pieces as well.

Somewhere in the teaching process and trials and tribulations with both students teachers and natural frustration that can set in sometimes turning you against you instrument.
In the case of my chosen instrument to play and teach the Violin I had couple of students who became frustrated and started to almost take that out on their instrument. We were able to keep our Violin from becoming a Baseball Bat and get though our lessons but it was a close call. Later that night however I started thinking about what an instrument might think about being ridiculed and shouted at and it might not be too good a feeling for Violin, Guitar ,Saxophone, Ukulele, Piano Etc.
