Please help this fainting robin

If I can stop one heart from breaking - Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is considered one of the greatest American poets.

me: music isn't a competition

me, again: chair placement doesn't define me

also me: I can't believe that BITCH is frickin concertmaster when I could clearly burn him into the ground with my paganini caprices. and you know what? screw chair tests. everyone in the section knows I'm better than him and I played wayyyy better than him on the chair test. I'm gonna challenge him and we're gonna fight and I'm gonna win and prove my superiority once and for goddamn all

In keeping with my personal “Teacher Traditions” and rituals, here is the official confirmation of my annual Summer Body Clock Flip: 4:30am, the time I usually wake up to teach zero period HS Orchestra… and I’m streaming @edc_lasvegas while cleaning my house. STILL. NOT. TIRED. #thuglife

Tired from gigs & rehearsals, but still found time for NYPhil Principal Brass chamber music @ Colburn w/ Aldo, and my principal trumpet student. 🎵 (at Colburn School)
