Anyone who really knows me will tell you that music has and will always be something I cherish. The Stewart family has a rich history of music history, from professional performers to teachers. So, I suppose I was destined to have a love for it.
Today, for the first time in a long time I got my trombone out and played for a good while. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of recall I had, and it sounded pretty good…considering how long it had been since I had really played! As I spent part of my afternoon reacquainting myself with this instrument, I was reminded of the scripture, “Make a joyful noise to the Lord all the earth, break forth into joyous song and sing (or in my case, play) praises!” – Psalm 98:4.
Music is therapy for me. For the past few years I have exercised this therapy with my guitars, but I have to say that today I was reminded why I love the trombone, too! I will make playing my trombone more regularly one of my goals for the future.
“Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.” – Martin Luther
