Through his decades with the New York Philharmonic and his busy touring schedule, Thomas Stacy, one of the world’s most renowned English horn players, helped make an unfamiliar instrument much less so. He has died at 84. nyti.ms/42xxXfh

Great mentors are learners as well as teachers. Data: when mentors value insights from below, they're more engaged and effective—and their mentees are more successful. Mentoring is not a transfer of wisdom from one to another. It's a relationship where two people grow together.

The most valuable voice in a meeting isn’t the person who talks the most. It’s the person who says the most with the fewest words. Dominating the discussion signals high self-importance or low self-awareness. Making space for others to contribute shows respect and earns respect.

Do you use music when exercising, or to help you sleep? A student of mine is running a questionnaire to find out about people’s use of music for their physical health. Takes <20 minutes. Link below. Thank you!  hull.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/mus…

Compassion isn't a cause of burnout. It's a source of energy. Data: Being kind to others can reduce cynicism. Being kind to yourself can lessen exhaustion. Kindness restores belonging, control, & confidence. The times when you need a hand are often the best times to extend one.

50 years ago today, sound recordings were first protected under federal ©, albeit in a limited fashion based on the bill’s focus on addressing piracy. Since then, many improvements have been made. There’s still one gaping hole—performance rights. #AFMA musicfirstcoalition.org/rep-…
