Three Thoughts:
My Capstone topic would be … on developing a non-academic method of teaching improvisation to young musicians.
If I could give a child one quality, it would be … empathy, with guidance: how not to take on others’ feelings as your own!
If I could have dinner with anyone (living or deceased, up to three people), I would invite … J.S. Bach, my personal favorite classical composer, John Coltrane, my favorite jazz musician for his evolution, and Malcolm X, for his brilliant mind and clear understanding of the world we live in.
