When John played saxophone in high school, I got it in my head that I should set a good example about practicing by going back to piano and seeing if I could make more progress than I did as a child.
In the first lesson, the teacher asked me what what I wanted to learn to play, and I said Boogie Woogie. So we did a little bit of that, and I thought I would really learn it. In the next lesson, she said, “You don’t want to learn this, it’s so repetitious.” So I studied what the teacher liked, which was classical. It fizzled out after a few years because I didn’t like to practice any more than John did.
Anyway, I still like Boogie Woogie, and was tickled when the FortPointer tweeted this new Boogie written especially for Fort Point. What happy music! It makes you want to jump right up and — well — boogie.

I’ve never agreed with teachers who want to impose their own goals on an adult learner. They forget that motivation is essential to success.
That boogie made me happy. I got up and danced to it! Thanks for sharing.
You made me smile. 🙂
Yes. I got up and jumped too this morning. Thanks.
Next time you are here, maybe we will persuade G to get up and boogie with us both!
