An audience shouldn't listen with complacency.

Peter Maxwell Davies Composer

But you can't really know your audiences so well.

Peter Maxwell Davies Composer

Peter Maxwell Davies Composer

The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.

Seymour Papert Mathematician

It is contended that those who have been bred at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, and Westminster, that the public sentiment within each of those schools is high-toned and manly; that, in their playgrounds, courage is universally admired, meanness despised, manly feelings and generous conduct are encouraged: that an unwritten code of honor deals to the spoiled child of rank, and to the child of upstart wealth an even-handed justice, purges their nonsense out of both, and does all that can be done to make them gentlemen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist

Mahatma Gandhi Civil Rights Leader

My first singing role was as Susanna in a school production in a shortened form of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. I loved to sing and I was given lots of encouragement by a wonderful music teacher Mrs Ann Hill and by my parents who suggested I go to drama school.

Elaine Paige Singer

Lee Iacocca Businessman
