“To all of you who suffer from stage fright agonies, take heart. You suffer because you are not a potato. Does a potato possess your abilities, your sensitivity, or richness of imagination? Do you want to present like a potato? Do people pay to hear potatoes speak? Your imagination makes your life harder but, when you have conquered your fears, it will set you apart.” MotivationEncouragementPublic SpeakingStage FrightPerformance Anxiety Book:Speak Out - Don't Freak Out Source: Speak Out - Don't Freak Out
“For many students, music lessons are springs of rejuvenation in the desert patches of their lives. They can express pent–up emotions in a range of sounds. Those who have to live with critical parents or in dysfunctional homes look forward to weekly one–on–one interaction with a positive, understanding and listening adult. Many will look back, decades later, and remember the words you spoke, the times you listened, and how your lessons changed their lives. You help them blossom in arid times. Your excellent work is valued! Bravo!” InspirationMotivational QuotesEncouragementMusic Teachers Book:Sounds and Souls: How Music Teachers Change Lives Source: Sounds and Souls: How Music Teachers Change Lives
