We can listen and repeat. This has its drawbacks too, of course, because it can mean singers lag behind other musicians when it comes to reading [...]]]></description>

I think of her as my &#8220;little black raincloud,&#8221; because she has a comeback for every compliment. We start every lesson in pretty much the same way. She comes in, sits down, gets her flute out, and tells [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone&#8217;s &#8220;favorite&#8221; encyclopedia provides the following definition for &#8220;Keeping up with the Joneses&#8221; : &#8221;an idiom in many parts of the English-speaking world referring to the comparison to one&#8217;s neighbor as a benchmark for social caste or the accumulation of material goods. To fail to &#8216;keep up with the Joneses&#8217; is perceived as demonstrating socio-economic or cultural inferiority.&#8221; So what does [...]]]></description>

I sing all the time, in the church choir, in the car, in the shower, sometimes in embarassingly public places like the grocery store&#8230;and I sing a lot when I&#8217;m teaching.

Usually, I assess what I’ve done (and haven’t managed to get done) at the end of the academic year; as a college professor, my concept of a “year” goes from August to May.
