Dearest Jos,
Happy Birthday my good friend! I wish you a wonderful day of celebration, reflection, good memories, and best wishes from all over the world. In many ways, your life has been a celebration of music as you travelled the world, both teaching and performing. I will always be grateful for the music you shared and the ways you taught us to teach it! I’ve told you several times that you are the best teacher I’ve ever had. As I move through my teaching career, I often am reminded of not only the material and the techniques, but of the joy of music, of teaching, and learning you shared.
Teaching children in public schools, or teachers in Orff levels courses, I try to pass along not only the knowledge you shared but also the joy!
I truly wish you the best! Stay well and joyful.
With Love,
Brent Holl
