http://adrianeelaine.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-place-for-failure.html
Want to receive updates delivered directly to your email? All you have to do is subscribe below. A Place for Failure. In college I had a couple of professors that encouraged my classes to take a break before grad school, to venture into the world, so to speak, before continuing our music education. At the time this sounded preposterous. Why not continue while information was fresh? How valuable could experience really be? Why would I want real-world experiences in place of musical experiences? I don't ha...
