I remember entering the studio for a vocal lesson with the accomplished Florence Kopleff for the first time. I was excited and intimidated all at the same time.
I greeted her and she responded with that cool calmness that only comes with expertise and skill. She then asked what I had for breakfast. Stunned, I responded "Um I didn't have breakfast this morning mam I wanted to be sure I was on time and I don't always eat because eating too early makes me sick."
Looking me directly in the eyes she said, "Then I recommend that you wake up earlier tomorrow, eat breakfast before you come to my studio and your lesson is over for today." With my eyes very wide I walked out dazed and in disbelief asking myself if that just really happened. I had a bowl of oatmeal the morning of my next coaching session. :)
