RESOLUTE

posted by James Reel

    Violist Charles Noble has posted his New Year’s resolutions. Now, this fellow is a member of a very busy orchestra and a string quartet, but he’s issuing directives to himself that include “‘perform’ more” and “better integrate music into my life.” What he’s vowing, essentially, is that music will be more for him than a blue-collar-style job. His resolutions would well be adopted by musicians everywhere, and retooled for other people to apply to their own professions.
