Cheryl North Interviews Leon Bates life would have a bit of an argument with star pianist leon bates. According tobates, it was his Kindergarten teacher in the Philadelphia Public School http://www.northworks.net/c_bates.htm
Extractions: Anyone who says that Kindergarten teachers don't have much impact on a child's life would have a bit of an argument with star pianist Leon Bates. According to Bates, it was his Kindergarten teacher in the Philadelphia Public School system, who initially inspired his love and interest in music. Bates' upcoming performances of Gershwin's Concerto in F at 3 p.m. Sunday and 8 p.m. Tuesday with the Napa Symphony, followed by a Four Seasons Concerts recital with the Borealis Wind Quintet in Oakland at 7:30 p.m. April 13, will illustrate just how important that particular Kindergarten teacher was to the world of music. "She played a lot of music for us in our class, both on the piano and on a record player," said Bates during a telephone interview last week. "There was a big old upright (piano) in our classroom and she would let us come up, one-by-one, and play on it. When it was my turn, I really got excited and would plink away as long as she would let me. She made me sensitive about what the piano could do. And it was in her class that I first heard Rachmaninoff." (Bates is now acclaimed as a major interpreter of the music of Rachmaninoff). As an adult, Bates is admired for both his dazzling pianism and his advocacy for youth music education. He has been praised for his "extraordinary way of inspiring, motivating and delighting America's youth" and for "opening their minds and hearts to the love of music."
