Sharon, in case it isn't obvious from a previous post, I am with you one hundred percent! Yes it is encouraging to know there are other teachers (and students) who feel the same, and a HUGE relief. I have felt I was in a vaccuum for so long until I discovered this list. It helps me to know I must be getting something right to hear you and others say it "out loud" as it were.
I know my student's results should be enough and that has sustained me for a long time. Never underestimate the power of positive reinforcement, even of your own ideas!
Long may this New Wave in Teaching Singing reign!
