Music has an incredible impact on peoples\u2019 lives, and I\u2019m the one that\u2019s the recipient of it. I get to hear all this great art! When I think of the five best investments I\u2019ve ever made in my life, they\u2019re my kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of music, Martin Luther once said, \u201cNext to the word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure on earth. It controls our hearts, minds and spirits.\u201d So for me to invest in lessons, the time commitment, the instruments, it\u2019s paid off a hundredfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Growing up, you were a drummer yourself. What are some of your favorite memories from that experience?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, I wouldn\u2019t call myself a drummer. We\u2019re talking junior high here. In my family, I have a brother-in-law who is a professor of percussion at Arkansas Tech. On the spectrum, I\u2019m about a 0.1, but I enjoyed it. The rhythm wasn\u2019t a problem. It was the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You\u2019ve always encouraged us to work to achieve our dreams. What are some of your favorite quotes to encourage teachers?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/52b0dfebe4b0a5e64dbd1f8d\/1593802279740-G6KEJ4SWIL5P4LSXPYKQ\/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kKmw982fUOZVIQXHUCR1F55Zw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWQUxwkmyExglNqGp0IvTJZUJFbgE-7XRK3dMEBRBhUpw5XnxLBmEFHJGf_0qFdDpmIncOw4kq9OpCHNTYqzGO-E1YJr-Thht9Tdog4YtCwrE\/IMG_3787.jpg?format=300w\" alt=\"IMG_3787.jpg\"\/><figcaption>Dad and Mom with my sisters and me<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, I\u2019ve had tremendous mentors and teachers over the years. One quote I appreciate is from Tom Landry, the late Cowboys football coach. \u201cMy job is to get men to do what they don\u2019t want to do in order to achieve what they\u2019ve always wanted to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many kids want to practice every day? Not many. But how many of them want to achieve great things? Most. How do we as teachers, coaches, and mentors convince these individuals to achieve what they want to achieve when they don\u2019t want to practice? Often, they don\u2019t want to put in the sweat, but anything worth doing requires sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another quote I love is from CS Lewis. He says, \u201cThere are no ordinary people. You and I have never talked to a mere mortal.\u201d Some students, or medical residents, are harder to teach, but they are not ordinary. We need to keep in mind that even the students who aren\u2019t the easiest are still important in God\u2019s eyes. They may not have as much talent as somebody else, but we\u2019re teaching the person, not just the skill set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.rescotcreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Peterson_Christmas_2020-16-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Stacy Peterson was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, and has maintained his strong family roots in our community.
