Serenade

So i've fallen completely in love with Schubert's "Ständchen" ..meaning "Serenade" auf Deutsch.. i bought the sheet music so that one of the four musical genuises that float around Armijo can play it for me while i'm sitting at my desk contemplating life. It is seriously awesome teaching at Armijo and knowing the kids the way that i do. We have four -used to be five before one graduated- kids who are exceptional pianists. It's kind of crazy, they can play ANYTHING and can sight read just about anything on the spot no problem. i even had one incident where i had a Chopin song i wanted them to play, but no sheet music. So he listened to it on my iPod and then was able to learn it. i alwasy tell them that they are the reason that my children will learn the piano when they are young, even if they hate it. In the event you feel like listening to this song here's a youtube video. i wish i could find the string version of it, i like it a bit better.
