Something I love about curious, driven, resourceful students is the way they live in Receive Mode. By that, I mean the way they can, day after day, pursue new information in their areas of interest. For music, that means listening, reading, conversation, watching, and more in their chosen genre.
As adults, we are far more likely in Transmit Mode. Particularly as teachers, we are called upon to share our knowledge, project ideas to others. This leaves us relatively little time to be in Receive Mode.
With my college semester wrapped up, and my high school year nearing the end, I’m preparing to commit deeply to at least a brief stint in Receive Mode – to fill up on new ideas, new music, new writing that will help me take my art to a new place
