Happy New Year!

Let us here and conductorsblog be among the last to wish you Happy New Year! We hope your 2012 is full of wonderful music-making and growth!

Today my friend and wonderful trumpet teacher, Eric Swisher, forwarded me a very interesting article.  Over the winter break we got a chance to catch up and discuss things both personal and professional. During our discussion about all-things-teaching (!), he was reminded of this article at Psychology Today. (Teaser: It’s called “A Nation of Wimps.”)

You can find it here.  I recommend you read it, especially if you are a teacher or a student (and aren’t we a bit of both most times?).

A year full of wonderful discussion is ahead. Make 2012 great for you and those around you!
