The folly of human history is the search for [the] state in things outside us. This explains all wars, all quests for money power, sex, and other sensory experiences. The ultimate security one seeks can only be found within.
--a quote from EFFORTLESS MASTERY by Kenny Werner

The greatest thing that I have learned from my musical experience over the past 20+ years is that every nuance in music can be directly associated with your real life: every 'mistake', fear, and 'moment of inspiration'--or lack thereof.
Have faith in yourself: that you are able TO ACHIEVE in your daily life... this is the greatest and most important step. Live life in the moment!
--Robi Varga 2006

I choose my own level of success. I like to practice music. I am happy in knowing that practicing keeps me centered and allows me to think clearly. On a most basic level, when I am able to successfully take out my instrument and practice, I know--at that moment--I am one step closer to achieving my personal satisfaction for the day.
Musicality is such a lifelong, rewarding gift--it keeps on giving.
I love to learn about music's different manifestations. MUSIC. It is such an infinite and noble beast. One can forever learn about music and still not fully comprehend. Yet ...when intimately presented, it is appreciated and loved and respected.

Music Resume Old
Current Webspace
We each have the power to access infinite intelligence.
I am a skilled saxophone musician in the Lower Mainland. I have surrounded myself around music and music encompasses my life. Let's get together and play. I teach the saxophone on alto and tenor sax. I also teach flute and beginner clarinet. Music has no age. I currently have a number of students ranging in age from 9 years old to 65 years old. Music lives in us all! Let's bring it to life. If you are interested and would like to find out more about learning, please let me know!
If there is one thing that I would like to give back to the world in this life, it is to inspire others to help them find success in their lives. I wish to inspire people through the medium of music in order to nuture the power of creation that exists within each of us.
...when you have made the inner connection, playing becomes more like taking dictation from within. Work with the thought, I am a master, I am great. Then just put you hands on the instrument, trust them, and eventually it will be so.

Do not fear mistakes. There are none.

LET'S MAKE IT OFFICIAL: I teach privately. I also teach with four music academies across Greater Vancouver. It has been over a year since I made Vancouver my home and I think that I have done well so far as a musician. I am still an active performing musician in town but my schedule has gone from pleasantly relaxing to extremely busy. I am still accepting students but please understand the amount of work and travelling time it takes to make my lessons and my musical life possible: from West Vancouver, to North Vancouver, to Burnaby, and then to Downtown Vancouver, and then to my rehearsals in East Vancouver, South Vancouver, and Downtown again. It is quite a journey. I am a hard working musician. You'd better believe it! Oh yeah! ;-D

THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Steven Covey
WHAT IS FAITH?1. Faith is the “eternal elixir†that gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought.
2. Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
3. Faith is the basis of all “miracles†and all mysteries that cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!
4. Faith is the only know antidote for failure!
5. Faith is the element,the “chemical†which, when mixed with prayer, gives direct communication with Infinite Intelligence!
6. Faith is the element that transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the physical equivalent!
7. Faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man!
