Top 10 Posts for 2010
In late May of last year, I moved my blog, lock stock and barrel, to this much more public venue on WordPress. This not quite a year has been a grand adventure. I have loved every minute (OK, maybe not some of the really techie bits) of discovery, learning, and connecting with other bloggers, readers, Twitterers, and Facebook friends from the U.S. and around the world who are passionate about music, education, and piano. Many many thanks and friendship to you all.
Below are the top 10 posts according to Google. I absolutely enjoyed writing all of them but several that are not on the list stand out for me: Day after Day, I’m a TFDr: The Play in Playing the Piano, A Romantic Accusation, and the Essential Skills for the Transferring Developing Pianist Series. Collecting news items for SuiteLinks each week is also a rewarding task for me- thanks for all the positive feedback on them! Do you have favorites on or off the list?
