College Winner College Winner, Studio Jazz Band, College Outstanding Performance 1 Educator-in-Chief Almost one year has elapsed since I joined the Frost School of Music to begin my tenure as Dean. During that time I’ve seen—and heard—some pretty amazing things: outstanding performances by world-renowned guest artists during Festival Miami; engaging presentations by visiting lecturers in the Stamps Series; over- whelming financial support by our committed donors; and classroom teaching by a faculty whose breadth and depth of knowledge never ceases to impress me. All of these are essential in a robust and forward-looking school. Important as they are, however, motivated and talented students turn a learned academic environment into a bustling, creative hive of activity. Far and away I’ve been most impressed by our students—who come from every state and many nations—to learn how to be a professional musician. Their thirst for knowledge and experience is palpable. From the intense con- centration necessary to master complex music theory to the self-evident joy of performing, FSOM students inspire me to want to continue learning. Our students are the reason I traded coasts; their youthful passion for everything musical keeps me focused on my most important role here: Educator-in-Chief. More than almost any other artistic or intellectual pursuit, music fosters the most profound relationships between master teacher and apprentice; it has been so for centuries. And, although we can’t bring all of our students into our homes to live with us (as did Bach and other great masters) we can find rooms for them in the “homes” of our minds and hearts, and in our School. Playing and singing from memory is the hallmark of a serious artist; doing so is more than a mere skill, though. Teachers have been telling students for uncount- able generations to “learn the music by heart.” It is a phrase I myself have heard (and spoken) again and again. And, perhaps more than anything else, I came to the FSOM to help train future music professionals and remind them—and myself— that we can’t really know a piece of music until we have taken it into our hearts. There is no place I’d rather be than here with you tonight to celebrate and to thank everyone who loves music (and music students) enough to support the FSOM as we do our best to love them, too.
