ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am grateful to the following people for helping me put this book
together:
Priscilla Shanks, my associate, for her constancy, her thorough
understanding of our teaching process and her joy in the work.
Katherine Kormendi for being there at its inception years ago. For
her keen thinking, her inventive ideas and her vision.
James Baker, my assistant, for his logic and never-tiring attention
to a myriad of details, plus his good cheer and resourcefulness.
Edward Hayman, for having the ability to put my eyes and ears,
my values and teaching method into words-and for doing it
with style.
Frances C. Jones, for her editing skills, good taste, and up-to-the-
minute awareness of the book publishing business, plus always
being there for me.
Steve Zousmer, for his incisive, witty, honest, erudite reading of
the manuscript.
Joyce Engelson who, through the years and all the versions of the
manuscript, encouraged me to believe that this is a worthwhile
and needed book.
