Today was the last official day of
classes at College of Marin, and my immersion in music theory and ear training
with Trevor as well as my adventures in 2D and 3D art fundamentals with Katrina
are coming to an end. I have been lucky
to have these two remarkable teachers for the duration of the academic year and
have learned so much from them. I’ve
loved the rhythm of my Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Kentfield campus, with a
little noon break singing in the chilly practice rooms. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the other
students, learning about their backgrounds, their aspirations. I’ve looked forward to the drive every
morning across the Golden Gate Bridge, the beauty of the Bay and the Marin
Headlands as the fog dissipates, the little clump of redwoods on the
campus.
This year at College of Marin has given a structure to my first year of life as a “retiree” and has challenged me. It was exactly what I was hoping for, in fact, even better. I have come to realize that this has been one of the happiest years of my life.
