I’m not sure if I can change that, but please know that if you do choose to sign up I will never give out your email address, nor will you ever receive much email from me, if at all. (The only possible email I would send would be something so timely I wouldn’t want you to miss it.)

You tell me! These have to be viewed. Descriptions simply wouldn’t do them justice. 🙂

***Update: Yes, I know these aren’t real!

Isn’t photoshop something else? I believe you could photoshop me and make be gorgeous and thin. (But can you make me smart?)

These, from Steven Hicken of Listen:

I found that putting app. timings of works on the program when I directed a new music ensemble was very helpful to the audience. If the style is unfamiliar, an idea of the scale of a piece can help an audience get in to the piece. The intro to Mahler 1 lets the audience know they are in for a long piece. In a Modern style, that pace might apply to a short piece. I’m all about helping an audience get into a piece any way I can, short of compromising the piece itself.

So there you go. A good explanation. Thanks, Steve, for IMing me and taking the time to chat!

Steve also commented on not being able to leave comments. Hmmm. I guess that you have to be a “member” to do so. I’ll see if I can get that changed. (Which means I’ll see if my husband can get that changed!)
