I love it when my students tell me that they've created some music. Of course most of the time they do the "telling" by playing their ideas for me. And I'm always happy to listen. Anyway, I remember that being the case a few months ago when Giada was doodling around at the piano and played a musical pattern that caught my attention. I stopped my pen from scribbling in her notebook and asked her to "play that again." After the second hearing, I knew that she had crafted a memorable piece of melody. A new collaborative project was born! Over the next couple months, we planned and developed the musical work that eventually became "Twisted Tango."
