"A Bottomless Pit of Flowers"

Maia Vlcek has been working with me for three years. I find myself delighted and inspired in our lessons because I KNOW that, even on days when she arrives from school tired and a little bedraggled, she will come forth with music that is striking, original, beautiful. She never fails. Maia is a wonderful example of the limitless creativity that EACH of us carries. She is simply allowing it to flow forth. We amusingly refer to it as her "bottomless pit of flowers."

This is one of the first duet improvisations we did together--we recorded it three years ago when Maia was eleven. It's gorgeous. I often listen to it when I want to focus or relax.




EVERY individual, in fact, has a bottomless pit of flowers inside of him or her! For each of us, it comes out in a different way. Your task is to determine how you can most easily access that infinite source of creativity inside you. In what way do you most readily express yourself?

Maia is a beautiful and inspiring example of creativity in action.
