Music and Skiing? Meet the Music teacher
Ever wondered what music and skiing can have in common? Let me do some exploring…
#1 Age: the best age to start with music or sport is when you are really a “little one” 4-5years old
#2 Time: you have to practise the instrument several hours every day // you have to do the sport several hours every day
#3: Challenge: you think you have practised the instrument enough and prepared the kids enough for the performance… // you think you are tall enough (180cms) and have skied enough to not be surprised by any….
#4 Beauty: the beauty of consonant harmonies, Tchajkovskij s sweet melodies, Chopin s emotional moods in his Nocturnos and sharing this with the students at concerts in beautifull concert halls // the beauty of nature, the mountains, winter scenery, conducting the peaks…
Conducting… 
the beauty of the Alps
#5 Satisfaction: when you are on the top of the mountain // when you receive lovely flowers after the performance
#6 Material: when you play on the grand piano is like skiing on natural snow. When you play on an upright or electric piano is like skiing on artificial snow.
#7 Can you think about another common thing??
Homework: Find out when Miss Erika started to learn skiing and when she started to learn playing the piano…
