So, When The Discussion About Not Using

Everything Good That I Know Was Taught To Me By Great Teachers And I Feel Like Giving Back And Sharing The Technique Is The Thing To Do.

I Had No Words For These Feelings. And Then People Started Using The Word Ms. Suddenly, There Was This Handle With Which I Could Identify Myself And Understand Why I Felt So Out Of Whack With The Culture Around Me.

Well, The Teacher I Studied With For Nineteen And A Half Years Was A Man Named Paul Gavert. He Was A Great Lieder Singer, So Basically Im A Trained Lieder Singer Because Of That Teacher. The Teacher I Currently Study With - Since 1995 - Is Joan Lader, Who Also Studied With Gavert.

I Have Never Experienced Racism In The Feminist Movement, So It Concerned Me To Think That I Was Unable To See The Subject Clearly Because I Came From White, Middle-class Privilege.

Broadway Has Changed Tremendously From The Early Days When The Shows Were Referred To As Musical Comedies. Musical Theater Is Now A More Expanded Art Form. Back Then, Singer/actors Were Not The Norm. From The 60's To Now, It Is Necessary To Do It All To Be A Consummate Broadway Performer.
