Authenticity

Authentic. Formally defined as genuine, trustworthy, reliable, honest, and truthful.

In teaching, in collaborating, in my professional interactions, and in my personal life, I want to be authentic. This is part of my commitment to excellence and being the best I can be.

I want to be GENUINE, my true self.
I want to be TRUSTWORTHY and HONEST in the way I present myself and in the way I deal with people.
I want to be RELIABLE by following through with what I say, being true to my commitments, and being responsible with my time.
I want to stand behind my word and be TRUTHFUL in communication and action.

Maybe you’ve seen the quote circulating the blog/Pinterest world – “If you’re your authentic self, you have no competition.” – Scott Stratten/@Unmarketing. Go out there and be your smart, successful, witty, personable, genuine, authentic self.

Authenticity – Part II

Some of you may remember my first post on authenticity a few weeks ago (read it here). It’s something that’s been on my heart and mind a lot since then, enough that I thought I needed to say a little more about it. First of all, some exciting news: I’m building a new professional website [...]
The Children’s Concert

I love working with young children, particularly when we have the opportunity to sing! In my experience, most 4-year-olds are confident, adventurous, effervescent music-makers and they learn new things so quickly! When the opportunity arose to share a free program of music with a group of children from the community (ages 3-5), I was eager [...]
WCMW: First Look!

As some of you might recall, Steve and I co-founded and co-directed the first Westminster Chamber Music Workshop last summer (recaps here and here). A week-long series of music events for the community alongside a chamber choir workshop for adult amateurs, we wrote a few grants, built a website, contacted the press, brought in guest [...]
The Music of Christmas

This week always seems to catch me by surprise. I mean, I know it’s coming. I’ve been planning for Christmas since July. And yet, here it is with its three service bulletins, special music, last-minute meetings, extra rehearsals, and the like. Yes, it’s a busy time but what a privilege it is to share music [...]
A Day in the Life

I am a freelance musician and largely self-employed. I have five part-time jobs, all in music. Christmas is the busiest time of the year. What does a “normal” work day look like? Let me give you a little glimpse! Tuesdays are generally a balance of church work, private teaching, and a little administrative work for [...]
