As we transition toward the next half of 2020, we thought we&#8217;d do something similar and share 20 Quotable Quotes from Educational Renaissance articles January through June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are longer block quotes that will whet your appetite for exploring old articles you may have missed. If you&#8217;re new to Educational Renaissance (as many of you are), think of this as a cliff notes guide to some of the core ideas in education we&#8217;ve been recovering during these past 6 months. The longer format of these quotations gives our authors a chance to develop an idea more fully than the memorable maxims of last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you missed our <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/educationalrenaissance.com\/2020\/06\/27\/summer-conference-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Summer Conference Edition<\/a> article, check that out, especially if you&#8217;re new, for some updates on where Educational Renaissance has been and where we&#8217;re going.

A concert pianist doesn\u2019t think about scales and arpeggios while performing on stage. This would detract from her expression. What we can assume when watching a virtuosic performance is that hours upon hours have been spent internalizing scale patterns so that the finger patters are simply part of her being.
