Good morning TMs,

I'm writing today mostly to those of you that are currently enrolled in a music school.

How many of you have established a relationship with a composition student and asked him/her to collaborate on a new piece? We can assume that they are every bit as talented in their field as you are in yours, and by actively collaborating you ensure that the final product is something that reflects your particular strengths (lyrical playing? articulation? range?) as well as something that you have a unique relationship to.

What is more important than developing your own repertoire? The person that you're seated next to in theory class might become Peter Maxwell Davies.

Any thoughts?

Best,
EC
