Liv Fun: Vol 9 – Issue 2

For as long as people have told stories, there have been tales of a fountain of youth — a spring that supposedly restores the youth and health of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Legends of such a fountain have been recounted across the world for thousands of years, appearing in writings by Herodotus, in the Alexander Romance, and the stories of Prester John, just to name a few.

Similar tales were also prominent among the indigenous people of the Caribbean, who spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini. And, of course, Ponce De Leon, the first governor of Puerto Rico, was even said to have discovered the fountain of youth somewhere in Florida.

Fantastic storytelling aside, thousands of adults and seniors have discovered their personal “fountain of youth” by taking a fun dip into learning how to play their favorite tunes on a piano. It’s been one of the greatest passions in my life to teach adults the incredible joy of becoming a music maker as opposed to simply a music listener. That distinction may seem subtle, but I’ve learned it has a transformative effect on those who give it a try.
