`Kel` [WaffleStomper.] The subject of the topic is this: Who is your overall favorite musician, and why? The question is simple, but I'd like to read every little detail as to WHY you think this particular musician is amazing. None of that, "Just because! They rock! m/" crap please. "Just because" is not a valid argument. I dont know if this sounds corny or not. It's nobpdy famous or anything. I admire my oboe teacher. She is soo good, and shes an awesome teacher. She plays first oboe in my orchestra. She can pull off any solo thrown at her with the most beautiful sound. I hope I can play just like her one day. She gives me advice for not just oboe but for life. Shes strict when she needs to be and caring and understanding when she needs to be. I think every oboist should have her as a teacher. yeah And I admire you for admiring your oboe teacher. ^_^ This is exactly what I'm asking for. I admire my band director, Jonathan Kea. He was the oboe player for his private school [Kamehameha Schools] and was excellent at it, was the captain in his air riflery team, and graduated second in his class. When he hit a certain age teaching at my school, he had a series of heart attacks and strokes, which paralyzed the left part of his body for a period of time. He went through therapy, can ONLY march now, can barely move his thumbs, and has a bad speech impediment, but still does what he loves with all his passion and skill. He still plays oboe, and is teaching me how to make my own oboe reeds [since I'm a newbie! x3] Thats awesome.
My teacher (Donna Campbell) is teaching me reeds too.

DORK! Jk
That's actually quite cool I think, if you get to be with the person you admire. I would die to be in the same room as Micheal Romeo, but alas, we don't always get our wish. crying
Also I've heard Veresallis' work, the one you mentioned specifically. I don't really remember it though.

Man is condemned to be free. ~Jean-Paul Sartre
`Kel` I dont know if this sounds corny or not. It's nobpdy famous or anything. I admire my oboe teacher. She is soo good, and shes an awesome teacher. She plays first oboe in my orchestra. She can pull off any solo thrown at her with the most beautiful sound. I hope I can play just like her one day. She gives me advice for not just oboe but for life. Shes strict when she needs to be and caring and understanding when she needs to be. I think every oboist should have her as a teacher. yeah.. You know, when you said that, I immediately thought of my choir director. She's an absolutely amazing teacher, mentor, and musician. I've sung under a LOT of conductors (we regularly act as guinea pigs for various clinicians and interns) and it's just amazing what she can do with a choir that others can't even compare to. A huge part of running a rehearsal is that development of mutual trust, and my director has an amazing sense of understanding with the choir that it's impossible not to trust her judgement. One of the most common (and in my opinion, one of the most fatal) mistakes a director can make is to misjudge what a choir does and doesn't know. It sucks when you circle a mistake and know you would get in right the next time, but yet have the director stop and fix it, as if they don't trust you to fix it yourself. At the same time, it sucks to have a problem and have a director that will skip it and not give the section a chance to work on a difficult passage. In many choirs, the only way to fix a passage is to ask about it - but with my director...she just knows. We know she knows, and in general we know she'll fix it if she thinks it needs fixing.
Okay, that was a huge rambling thing, so...sorry. But I guess I'd have to say that's exactly why I admire my director...I could go on and on about all the wonderful things she's done for me and for the choir. Suffice to say, she's much more than a teacher to me.
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic. ~George Bernard Shaw
