Music Will Set You Free
Music is a transformative experience. We listen to it, we play it, we sing it, and we tap our toes and bob our heads even when we are not aware of it. Music allows us to escape the mundane, to make the extraordinary, and to create for anyone listening the world that we see in our soul. The music strikes just the right chord and you feel your life transformed, if only for a brief second, and it is as if the composer stretched across time and space to hold your hand and speak right to you.
Those moments are why we create music, why we work so hard on the smallest details, why we study everything about music, why we seek to become a master musician. For this reason I will push you, I will ask you to try new things, I will expect more of you, and I will require you to spend more time then you think necessary on it. I do not want you to just meet my expectations for you; I want you to raise your expectations of yourself.
During this year you will be given the opportunity to learn many things about playing music, experiencing music, writing music, and living your life as a musician. This will require work on your part that neither I nor anyone else can replicate for you. No one except you can make your fingers move to the right note at the right time, and no one can do what I will ask of you except you. Each person plays music with a different passion, I only ask that you share this passion with everyone so that you can change people’s lives.
I cannot wait to share the exciting transformation that this year will be,
Yours Truly,
Lars R. Holmberg
