This past winter Lexington Community Education lost an incredible instructor, featured musician, and longtime friend of the program in the person of Robert Rivera. As a musician Robert was equally gifted in his ability to perform and teach on cello and bass guitar. The care and connection he made with his listeners and students to and through music was second to none. It’s been said that a great teacher acts as a mirror to students, reflecting and pointing the way toward a vision of the self that is improving toward a level of mastery and fulfillment.
