Yes, do!! I'd love to learn more about you! Like, how long have you played piano? What style is your favorite? Do you have a composer who brings you joy?
Thank you for the very nice review. I appreciated it. xo
Comment from gramalot8
It's been fun reading these quizzes and learning about our fellow FanStorians. You are no exception. Two of my favorite answers... Gauging how good you drove by Mom's piano playing... look out for Tchaikovsky! And, thank goodness for stretchy pants! Lol
Thanks for sharing your info and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I think Gypsy did an excellent job creating something to which many people have been engaging. This was interesting for me to read and you did an excellent job with the challenge! You answered authentically and I enjoyed the colors you used to differentiate questions and your answers. Fun writing.
Best wishes,
Alex

Comment from Carol Clark2
I enjoyed reading your answers to Gypsy's questions, and getting to know a little more about you. The picture took me back to my own years of piano lessons and recitals, both as student and teacher. Your attitude about compliments is perfect. Blessings. Carol

What a really nice review this is, Carol. Thank you! xoxo

You're welcome. We have common interests of teaching & music, although I've retired from both. One of my musical highlights was playing a duet of Brahms' 'Hungarian Dance #1' at a Holocaust memorial synagogue in Szeged, Hungary, and later, here in Toledo, OH. I accompanied a local college choir, and we toured in England and Hungary (to a sister city).
-
WOWWWWWW!!! I'd love to hear much more about THAT!!! What stand-out life moments!!!
-
The synagogue was beautiful. It had gold plaques on the walls, engraved with the names of members who were Holocaust victims. We sang Rene Clausen's "Set Me As a Seal Upon Your Heart" --" for love is strong as death." I don't think there was a dry eye. It was very moving.
-
Oh, wow. I can only imagine. What an experience for you...and everyone there!
Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Rachelle,
I'm also married to a Leo... but from memory I believe she is a sheep, or goat in the Chinese zodiac. I read a few similarities of the Leo trait you both share... I believe the strength of character shines through... the person who wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn't suffer fools readily.
I loved the straightforward candour throughout the answers... yes, another Leo trait methinks.
Loved you favorite quotes... one inspirational and one humourous which demanded of me to smile.
It was so refreshing to read of your happiness in general with your life and the aspirations that allowed you to achieve your heart's desire, both professionally and personally.
Totally agree with your biggest life lesson... learning for anything and everything is the key.
So, I'm really grateful I've had the opportunity and pleasure to get to know you on a different level... thank you so much for sharing this wonderful format. Kudos!
With our thoughts we create...
the echoes of our soul.
Kindest regards,
James.

JumboJ! This is the sweetest of the sweet reviews! So much time and thought and kindness went into it. Thank you for such a lovely perk to my day. Will you be filling out the quiz, too? I'd love to have the opportunity to know YOU better, also!! xoxo
-
I'll have to give thought to the quiz, I'm not as active as I'd like to be on site... it's a day-to-day proposition for me.
But with time and connection knowing comes easy.
Hope your day is a smooth transition into the evening Rachelle.
James.

Comment from pome lover
howdy, there, Miss Rachelle! From this personal delving into your inner self, you are probably envied by many - happy and content in so many ways - the ways that count. Bravo! I still am in awe of your handling 70 students a week.
I am so ready for cool weather. We hardly get to wear winter clothes. Tomorrow a friend is taking two of us birthday girls to dinner at a veddy nice restaurant and she wants to sit outside and it's supposed to be 87 degrees! We still have the AC on. Bitch bitch. sorry.
I hope you stay safe. I am so ashamed of and furious at the people in this country who are protesting, and delighted at the big firms withholding jobs from graduates who mouthed off. We have come to a sad state of affairs.
Anyway, am sure you are busy, but holler when you can.

Comment from T B Botts
Hello Rachelle,
I'm glad that you did this exercise, so people can get to know you better. I had some idea of who you are from you delightful book. I didn't know about the driving lessons with your daughter though. I think it's wonderful that after you have taught all day, you can go home and enjoy playing the piano just because you want to. I'm envious of your ability to play. I think it would be so gratifying. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Thank you, Tom. Yes, many people are still alive today because I was able to go home after having to deal with them and get out my frustrations on my instrument!! HAAA! Kidding! (well, pretty mch...) Thanks for the delightful review. xoxox
Comment from LJbutterfly
I enjoyed reading your answers to Gypsy's quiz, where you revealed a lot of information about yourself. The thing that stood out most to me was that you are a voice, flute and piano teacher to seventy students a week, and were a dancer and choreographer. Wow! A life filled with music.
You also sound very caring with a heart for teaching and encouraging children to reach their fullest potential. Thank you for sharing your photo and for allowing your FS family to have a deeper understanding of who Rachelle Allen, the author, really is.

Comment from jim vecchio
You are a very interesting person and I'm so glad to have read this. Music was a big part of my upbringing and the zenith of my meager talents occurred in the third year of college when I performed with a band in Ireland. I deeply regret laying those instruments down, but God chose another path for me. My life, unlike yours, is nothing to write about. I wish I could "bare myself" like you!

Same! I love when members give me a peek into their lives. I find it fascinating to read personal histories and what makes people become who they are.
