"There was one time where I picked a female student for a solo on a very challenging piece. They had the best voice for the song, but they did not have the work ethic. It turned out the solo did not go very well. I learned that sometimes I do not have to pick the best vocally pleasing singer, but rather the one who is most committed to working on their craft."
