A Conversation with Wendel Patrick
We were all honored today to have Wendel Patrick come to our school to share his art and work as well as stories about his life. Mr. Patrick teaches at the famed Peabody Music Conservatory and has performed and lectured around the world. Students were able to experience his work on the renowned “Out of the Block” series from public radio as well as his music and a special video he produced with jazz saxophonist Scott Paddock. Mr. Patrick encouraged the students to think about themselves and how they spend their time with this challenging quote, “Whatever you spend your time doing, that’s what you are.” Everyone was so engaged with this conversation that it went well beyond the time set aside, so Mr. Patrick is coming in again on Monday morning for a wrap up where the students get to speak about the impact of his presentation. Wendell was invited to the school by TCS Trustee Fleesie Hubbard who also attended the seminar. You can check out Mr. Patrick’s website by clicking this link WendelPatrick.com
