Powerful words! The Hall Center

Art feeds life.

A feeling of competition motivates some....but here's the better way....

AH HA!!! This is something I do with my students...always making sure I notice all their good qualities, their efforts, and their accomplishments,...if there's ONE thing I will have done in this lifetime, it will have been to leave each child with a healthier sense of self. SO important.

It IS difficult being an artist in a corporate Western culture, who's focus is on money, and individualism. We are the unconventional expressors and story tellers and the interpretors (I KNOW you're gonna correct my spelling...lol) of our culture and the human condition. Yet, we are treated often like we're disabled, not taken seriously, de-valued as a payed profession and misunderstood by many. We offer SO much, but we also bear a lot too, and work twice as hard to preserve and succeed in our calling as a result. What are your thoughts? and how can we as artists not only have an impact on our society, but also get them to recognize it?

This sent chills down my spine, and brought a judge to tears...students...this is the affect you can have on others when you EXPRESSFULLY and SKILLFULLY sing a song....it doesn't matter what genre. I challenge you!!!!
