an email my teacher wrote to me..
Yo raquel, you spend some seriously crazy time on the internet. Dont forget to listen to the music you make in your own head. Sometimes, after you have listened to alot of music and the songs are so ingrained in your head, you can start rewording things and eventually move to a new song. You i think would be very good at this. dont be afraid to use someone elses energy to create your own ideas! Have a good one!
peace!
(I sent him a website to some bands I like...cuz i was wearing homemade shirts and he wanted to look at the bands)
