Abraham Lincoln once asked, "How many legs does a cow have if you call its tail a leg?"
"Five," was the response.
"No," Lincoln replied. "Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one."

Simply having fifty million people agree on a foolish idea doesn't make it true.

Our society is gradually eroding common sense and moral clarity, and none of us are completely immune. Ignorance can be forgiven, but failing to teach the next generation the difference between right and wrong will lead to a dangerous future.

Do your research. Look closely, think critically, and don't mistake popular opinion for the truth.

What if Thinking Tone could speak five languages, too?
My book “Time for Tone” has been translated into five languages, while “Thinking Tone” is currently available only in English. But today, thanks to ChatGPT and other AI tools, translating a book has become remarkably accessible. Simply photograph a page, and within seconds, you can have a translation!
Thinking Tone is a short, 23-page book filled with ideas about the art of clarinet tone. It is not an exercise book, but rather a concise and insightful guide to developing the best possible tone while discovering your own musical identity.
Your tone is more than just a sound. It reflects who you are, what you believe in musically, and what you want to communicate to your listeners. It is about having the courage to be different and allowing your individuality to shine through your playing.
I hope these ideas will inspire clarinetists around the world to think more deeply about tone, musical expression, and the unique voice each of us brings to music.

My dear former students! Danny in the Jerusalem Symphony and Or in the Camerata! What’s more glorious is the relationships my students have with each other!! Wouldn’t it be nice that we could all live in peace? One thing I know. Hate is a disease. Let it spread and it will backfire on you. Live to Love!
