Never underestimate what you can do. Plan ahead and determine what you can do. Learn from your experience and build on that.

Make a deadline for yourself. If your project is unrealistic then create a new one and satisfy your soul. Stuck? Get out of your own way, review your options, and start all over again. Your passion will carry you through.

Gyllian is nothing short of stellar. I was lucky enough to attend her winter recital on 12/6/09 and saw over 30 performances that left me wanting more.

Gyllian Lozano has created an amazing academy located in Santa Monica, Ca. USA. Gyllian personifies joy I could never imagine. This is her life and she cares about people more than words or any passion could ever capture. I was thrilled to meet her. Gyllian is nothing short of stellar.

I was lucky enough to attend her winter recital on 12/6/09 and saw over 30 performances that left me wanting more. I have never seen so many happy kids with so much talent in one concert hall.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rebecca Rice who teaches and plays piano like magic at the academy. Rebecca is simply outstanding and you can read more about her accomplishments on the Academys website. She's very warm and just loves people. Incredibly talented and gifted.

I also met Jon Dinerstein who played piano for so many of the children performing and his work really increased their confidence. Jon is a creative genius. Jon graces YouTube and I'm still looking for the video that features the children so you can see this super entertainer at his best.

I heard the greatest Christmas music ever and these students are on top of the world.

I highly recommend Green Brooms Music Academy and make sure you meet Gyllian. She is simply incomparable and is helping these children in so many ways. Gyllian is a symbol of hope and is helping these children build futures. Gyllian is more than a Christmas Angel. Gyllian is music...

I'll see if I can locate some YouTube favorites to post. Please check back with me or email me for more information.

These people have so much love in their hearts and it was an honor and even breathtaking to see them all play together and create harmony you'd think was perfect.

Please visit Green Brooms on Facebooks Fan Page.

I'll update this post ASAP!
