I Am So Envious Of My Colleagues

Music Was Language In Our House. It Was Air.....i Feel Certain That If I Absorbed Any Lessons At All In The First Months And Years Of My Life, They Must Have Been About The Work That Went Into Making A Beautiful Sound.

We Sing With The Entire Body. The Sounds That We Make Emanate Not Just From The Head, But From The Whole Heart And Soul, And, Most Important, The Gut.

I Don't Want To Be Somebody Who Stands Still And Sings Pretty. Each Song Is A World. Each Song Is A Story. I Don't Achieve Nearly What I Want.

The Student's Job Is To Stay Open-minded, To Quell The Knee-jerk Defensiveness We All Possess In The Face Of Suggestions For Improvement, And To Maintain Patience When Faced With A Process That Is Often Slow, Confusing, And Frustrating.

I'm Not Exactly An Angry Young Person.
