The end of the year...

As I reflect on the completion of my first year of teaching at the university level, a few observations have come time mind:

1. The bigger your vision, the greater the speed at which you can make change.

2. The greater your clarity of vision, the easier it is to deal with the obstacles.

3. The voice develops slowly and with patience and care. Big voices require more time and even more patience!

4. We hear with our eyes first, then we open our ears to the sound.

5. Our hearing is defined by who we are, what we have done and what our ultimate goals in life are.

None of these observations will change the world or the way someone sings but they may get you thinking. I know I'm already to get started on next year!
