Pep Talk • Excellence vs Mediocrity




Aids to Achievement and Success
  1. Curiosity: an eagerness to explore ideas and enact events which engage the imagination and develop and apply skill(s).
  2. Effective organization and discipline: hard work directed to specific goals in a timely manner results in additional positive opportunities. Success = skill meets opportunity.
  3. Realistic goals—that stretch the imagination while meeting the immediate needs of the learner result in enhanced achievement and satisfying encounters.
  4. Responsibility for learning: active engagement in one's studies that results in intellectual progress and artistic excellence.
  5. Integrity or self respect: a confident identity based on truth and honesty which allows one to understand and respect others and achieve fairness, healthy relationships and engage others for mutual educational enrichment.
  6. Self motivation: assessing one's educational situation and setting challenges for one's self; leadership. The ability to self motivate attracts likeminded individuals who value the opportunity to share ideas and experiences and the achievement of excellence.
  7. Effective communication for collaboration: communicating in a mature and timely manner and applying the above principles.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.—Aristotle 
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.—Steve Jobs

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.—Mario Andretti



Obstacles to Learning and Achievement
  1. Self entitlement: characterized by an over inflated sense of self importance, know-it-all-ism, closed mindedness. Often, such an attitude results in insubordination or a tendency to assume authority that does not belong to oneself, and the imposition of one's own illegitimate (and unproductive) wants over the legitimate (and productive) needs of others. The self entitled person is indifferent to the truth about his/her unproductive behaviour.
  2. Inconsistent or lack of preparation: undermines progress; there is little or no foundation upon which to build.
  3. Unrealistic expectations. One's goals do not reflect an honest assessment of one's current situation nor an understand of the necessary commitment needed to achieve the goals one sets
  4. Unwillingness to accept direct criticism: a tendency whereby one attempts to exempt oneself from criticism and avoid confronting the truth about one's negative attitude which, because it is mediocre and defeating, typically issues forth in excuses and other unproductive behaviours, e.g., mediocre performance and low achievement. The person unwilling to accept criticism dismisses or confronts any advice as a threat.
  5. Lack of confidence: may be due to a lack of objective awareness or confusion about one's strengths or weaknesses.
  6. Absences: undermine one's access to information in a collaborative setting and often lead to disappointing others with whom one is supposed to be associated, e.g., in joint projects.
Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.—Warren G. Bennis

CYMC 2013 Highlights

I'm just back from an exciting, fun-filled and productive two weeks with young musicians at the Comox Valley Youth Music Centre (CYMC) classical music summer camp in beautiful Courtenay, BC, at Mark Isfeld High School.
Mark Isfeld School has hosted the various CYMC camps—classical (including piano), music theatre and jazz—for several years. Thank you to the principal and music director for the use of the school!
Much music was made. The chamber music concerts featured every student in combinations totalling 30 ensembles, including the Baroque Strings, numerous string quartets, trumpet and oboe trios, piano trios, saxophone quartet and wind quintet. It was a privilege working with students of such superb skill, students who were highly motivated and who shared their vibrant personalities in their music.

It is a genuine pleasure witnessing the growth of young musicians, especially returning students who have steadily grown in confidence and skill over the past few yeats. It is a true delight to be part of someone's musical formation and to applaud their accomplishments. Students who were once beginners, and perhaps even a bit shy and tentative on their chosen instruments (all levels are welcome!), have emerged to become passionate music makers in just a few brief years... days!
Musical beginnings... CYMC also offers the Junior Strings program for elementary age children. This year, the ensemble the Junior Strings performed a composition featuring the cellist with an accompaniment provided by faculty members: Danny (congas); Chris (clave); Wendell (maracas); and Dave (bass).
Happily, many CYMC campers continue on in music, attending some of Canada's and th United State's finest institutions of higher learning. This year we welcome three current campers to the University of Victoria School of Music: Colin (French Horn); Matthew (Bassoon); and Jessica (Violin).

Days were jam packed with rehearsals, fun-filled gatherings around the ping pong table, sharing music videos and recordings, and are typically saturated with music-centred conversation. Students also had the opportunity to take in the local beaches. Days were long and throughly enjoyable; the weather was stunningly beautiful.

2013 Class Recital Pics

Congratulations! And, thank you students for a successful evening of respectable performances.

We will evaluate said performances in master class (general comments; comparative performance) and lessons (specifics).

Points to Ponder
  1. planning: repertoire selection; effective organization for memorization
  2. live on stage: concentration and distraction
  3. musicality and musicianship: expression and technical precision
  4. collaboration: stage presence and connection, rhythmic blend and balance
  5. physiology and performance practice: tone, intonation, articulation, vibrato
  6. biography: maturation as a musician
To our audience... .

A very special thanks to our audience members present in the PTY Hall whose gracious comments were and are much appreciated. It was good to see so many familiar faces and many new faces.

And, to our web audience - thank you for listening! Please feel free to leave your comments in the com-box below.
