We have been listening to ABC Classic FM’s, Classic Breakfast with Emma Ayers and have been delighted by her Happy Childhood Project. So here’s the scenario: Emma has selected two beginner cellists; Jess 14 years old and Peter 60 years, and follows their progress to see how each of them progresses and how their attitudes change. The idea is to provide an interesting comparison on the learning styles and rates of different ages. Whilst it is still early in the project, Emma has spoken with both participants who each have limited musical training but ample enthusiasm to make up for it.
I was lucky enough to meet Peter in our store and help him find his first cello. His enthusiasim and excitment was definately memorable and after listening to the podcast of his interview I must say I am so pleased to have made a lasting impression on him. Peter described me as more than a sales person and described the passion for music which we at Simply for Strings all share. As professional musicians and teachers with qualifications it is so nice to be seen as more. To be recieved as a source of knowledge and inspiration is exactly the experience we want all of our visitors to have when coming to our store.
