…It
Must Be Belgium, was the title of the old movie about American tourists in
Europe. Though I did get to see a friend from Belgium on Saturday, Tuesday for
me is Nuremberg, Germany teaching jazz to University Students. Well, morning.
Tuesday night is another Orff workshop in Zurich, Switzerland. Last Friday were
the final classes in Salzburg, Saturday an all-day workshop in Munich. Tomorrow
a different workshop in Switzerland, Saturday, another one in Raleigh, North
Carolina. Sunday re-pack in San Francisco, Monday off to Malaysia for a
Wednesday workshop. Isn’t this fun?
Truth
be told, it is! Well, I am worried about the Switzerland-North Carolina- San
Francisco-Malaysia travel in the space of five days. Not my first choice of
itinerary, but just the only way certain things could happen this time. But if
my body can hold up (fingers crossed), my main confession of this traveling
music teacher is simply— I love it. I recognize it is an ecological
disaster as a life style and not the way I would choose to settle into the
pleasure of getting to briefly know a new place, but it is the work that is the
constant thread and the sense that children everywhere might be a bit happier
if the seeds of the work take root in the participants. And that counts for
something.
Time
to pack.
