If we have a dream, we should go for it…. - 3-11-05 Wings, The Complete Technique, a private lesson with Ayshe
Well, I have to say that I must take a bit of an issue with the title of this DVD. “A private lesson” with Ayshe? More like an intensive, private seminar!

As an ensemble becomes larger and more professional, it will find that it is more efficient and effective if it models itself like a professional company with defined roles - 9-1-09 Maud Allen: La Femme Fatale
