Thomas Stevens "Quotables" column features comments made by distinguished professionals in the performing arts that should be of interest to musicians and music lovers alike.
There is an old adage in the business world that a relevant anecdote or metaphor can be worth a thousand data points. In the music world, these same two elements can be worth many hours of classes or individual lessons.
The General Comments section of the "Quotables" features comments made by, or stories about distinguished professionals and the manner with which they practiced their craft in the performing arts that should be of interest to musicians and music lovers alike, while the For Trumpeters Only section addresses issues that would be of interest to that particular segment of the music community.
Some of the editorial content of the "Quotables" pages was originally either published, prepared for publication in music education and/or trade journals, or included as subject matter in international master-classes and seminars by Thomas Stevens during the years 1978 through 2001. The original materials have been edited for inclusion on this site, and they are listed in the reverse chronological order of their posting.
