David, good work with your life-activity exercise. Fine contextualization to a physically active time of day for students of BBC. The echo created from Jackon Hall was a nice touch. Yes, very clear and, as I think Melody mentioned, asking for an intense piano was helpful. My only suggestion is to stay planted. Perhaps uncomfortable for you; however very confidence-inspiring for the student who is watching you.

The two big ideas today:

1. Dynamic levels will be relative to the size of the instrument that is producing them. Remember that a forte for Concert Choir is different from the forte of Chamber Singers.

2. The best question for the vocal pedagogue to ask his sudent is: "How did that feel?"
The best question for the student to ask the vocal pedagogue is: "How did that sound?" The implications concerning these questions are enormous. We're on very important ground here.

Our prayer today [Happiness] taught us that the pleasures of God are meant for our pleasure. "Teach me that if I do not live a life that satisfies thee, I shall not live a life that will satisfy myself."

It was a lively class! Good work.
