A man and his son were walking through a cemetery. The boy asked, “Daddy, do they bury two people in the same grave?”
The father said, “Two people? Let me look.”
So the father took a look, and sure enough, the marker said, “Here lies a symphony conductor and a humble man.”

  • you can sing all of Beethoven�s Fifth Symphony.
  • you begin conducting with a piece of uncooked spaghetti.
  • you can describe two differences between opera and oratorio.
  • you can play more instruments than the average person can name.
  • you try to figure out what song is printed on cute music mugs you see in stores.
