I didn't fall in love with the trombone at first in Grade 7 at Wilson Hts Public School, but by Grade 12 at Sir Sandford Fleming, I played 1st and loved all the Kiwanis Awards that we had won. Later on as a High School teacher at Weston Collegiate, I got to play in the pit band for the following shows: "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum", "Anything Goes" and "Oliver". It revitalized my love for playing. Then came family commitments and the mothering role to two wonderful children, so I had little time to play an instrument, but I encouraged my children to love music as I had. In grade 7, my son, Aaron decided to play trombone and we bought one for him. By grade 11, he had dropped the playing, to concentrate on academics but I took it up once again. Hearing Resa's Pieces one time as my husband and I strolled through the JCC caught our attention and my husband solicited my talents and that was 4 years ago. So here I still am. I love the opportunity to share music and fun times as well. BRAVO to Resa Kochberg and our fellow members for their talent and devotion.
