Essential Cultural Capital on Wednesday. You could discuss the opportunities for singing in choirs your students have as a starting point for a singing career.

You could discuss the fairness in stopping someone from entering an open competition because they were simply too good. (I’m fairly sure Melody Maker didn’t exclude Elvis from their International Vocalist of the Year!)

But mostly you can play your tutees some Otis Redding and contemplate how much amazing music we’d have if he weren’t taken from us so tragically young.
