O, the humanity!
The human voice is a glorious instrument...I just wish more people viewed it that way and took it seriously and treated it like one!

*******(I must confess to having that classical-musician-thing when it comes to singers...when I was in school, we always used to make fun of the vocalists... "But, darling, you know this is a MUSIC school, right? For MUSICIANS?" And it really can be an absolute horror to work with a singer, because a lot of them, for some reason, don't view their voices as an instrument, and don't feel the need to learn theory and the fundamentals of musicianship; I realize that the training that young singers get today focuses on fixing this stereotype, but I guess some habits just die hard!)******
OMG...I just had a complete flashback to college...sitting in the lobby at Ford Hall....and discussions starting "she's not a musician, she's a singer". Sad part was, that for many of the voice majors that was SOOOOOO true!
I currently sing in a choir that does a school program called "Bach to School" (cheezy, I know!). The conductor always talks about the singers in the choir and then "the musicians"...meaning the instrumentalists. It drives me crazy, because there are more than a few professional musicans in the choir--including many music teachers, church musicians, composers, and music publishers and editors. It also drives me crazy that the instrumentalists get paid to be there, but the choir is a volunteer thing. Unfortunately, no one will pay you to sing choral music in my area.
