Granted, this isn't for everyone if you're trying to sell your book, but for me, making a public commitment to deliver worked. Since I initially had four chapters fairly well established, I was able to give myself a running start. This way, I was able to write, put it away, and revisit with fresh eyes which always led to improvements and insights. I like the quote by James A. Michener: "I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter."(less)

With respect to the Solfege Teaching Guide, my father had a mediocre piano teacher. Because of his passion for music, he often spent 8 hours a day during the weekend practicing piano, only to become at best an intermediate level pianist. I think that is tragic, and unnecessary. People who think they aren't talented musicians simply weren't exposed to the right teaching methods. Yes, you still have to do the work. And yes, there may be genetic considerations that will enable one student to develop absolute pitch within a year and another to struggle for two years before that person can sing on pitch given a starting note. But this methodology works to help people become self-sufficient musicians.(less)

Eileen’s Quotes

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
