"Being a Singer and a Musician is one of life's rarest and most precious privileges. It also brings with it exacting responsibilities, which can be both exhilarating and humbling... To be a fit channel for this wonderful but awesome task requires that you do all you can to nurture and sustain your emotional, spiritual, and intellectual lives. A vital part of your musical discipline is this readiness to communicate the caring for human values that give substance and understanding to your musical emotions." -Jan de Gaetani
