Poise will maintain your moral compass while others have shipwrecked their careers. The  poised musician has the ability to listen to almost anything with losing his/her composure, temper, focus, and integrity.  If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.Rudyard Kipling Anderson was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She joined a junior church choir at the age of six, and applied to an all-white music school after her graduation from high school in 1921, but was turned away because she was black. The woman working the admissions counter replied, "We don't take colored" when she tried to apply. Consequently, she continued her singing studies with a private teacher. She debuted with the New York Philharmonic on August 26, 1925 and scored an immediate success, also with the critics. In 1928, she sang for the first time at Carnegie Hall. Her reputation was further advanced by her tour through Europe in the early 1930s where she did not encounter the racial prejudices she had experienced in America. Anderson at the Department of the Interior, commemorating her 1939 concert The famed conductor Arturo Toscanini told her she had a voice "heard once in a hundred years." In 1934,[2] impresario Sol Hurok offered her a better contract than she had previously had with Arthur Judson. Hurok became her manager for the rest of her performing career.     In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall. The District of Columbia Board of Education declined a request to use the auditorium of a white public high school. As a result of the ensuing furor, thousands of DAR members, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, resigned.[3] The Roosevelts, with Walter White, then-executive secretary of the NAACP, and Anderson's manager, impresario Sol Hurok, then persuaded Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes to arrange an open air Marian Anderson concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.[3] The concert, commencing with a dignified and stirring rendition of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" attracted a crowd of more 75,000 of all colors and was a sensation with a national radio audience of millions. Poise modifies your reaction to an apparent assault and calumny.  calumny: a misrepresentation intended to blacken another's reputation the act of uttering false charges or misrepresentations maliciously calculated to damage another's reputation Poise is the balm and anecdote to a world filled with anger, wrath, malice, slander,  profane and vain babblings, bitterness, outcry, and abusive speech from the mouth. Poise bears defeat with dignity, accepts criticism with poise, receives honors with humility-these are marks of maturity and graciousness.” William Arthur Ward Poise is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing you. Music Poise is an important element of character. It is our assignment to bring poise to the environment. It is difficult for musicians to keep their composure while remaining unaffected by a medium that is designed to manipulate the emotions. We need poise because; the false/faulty sensory deprivation/appreciation of the musician is obscured by unnatural feelings. Remember, everybody in the audience doesn’t worship and love you; believe the hype, stunned by your brilliance, fells exhilarated. We don’t always display admirable technical and musical qualities and an ability to judge the tonal projection of the instrument, and all clearly have the seeds of future music promise.   Musician fail in their ministry, careers and their private lives because of focus. Their is a dichotomy between the musician that can meticulously conduct the praise and worship while refusing to obey the pastoral chain of command. The pastoral chain of command oversees the  hymn selections, choir rehearsals, Minister of Music, music appointments. The tithe, weekly bible study, fellowship, lifestyle are not pastoral mandates. The Minster of Music makes decisions that congruent with the pastoral chain of command. Soloist are under the chain of pastoral command. How can choir rehearsal be mandated while the choir stay home on "off Sundays" , bible study, and prayer meeting.   Is it plausible to beat the choir members with the remnants of the disgraced refugee musicians who have long left the church. It is probably too late for the pastoral and minister of music chain of command to manage music poise of a certain generation. Too little attention is given to musicians poise during the formative years of a musician’s life. Their is no Music Sunday class which develops poise. Choir rehearsal teaches music skills but lack the time and expertise to include poise. Music wisdom is the ability to judge ones own music value. Poise is the quality that endows a musician with the knowledge of music skills. Further, poise imbues the musician with the power and desire to be accomplished. A scandal wrecked career is seldom able to see the warning signs or when opportunity knocks until the career has ceased to be one. Little attention is given to musicians poise during the spiritual formative years of a musician’s life. Perhaps, the attention that is given to character development and poise is too little and often too late. Poise is maintaining balance and composure.     Earl Woods early training of Poised Tiger Woods: Earl Woods introduced Tiger to golf by swinging a club as his son watched in a high chair. Tiger appeared on the "Mike Douglas Show" at age 2, played exhibitions with Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus, and his television appeal was solely responsible for quantum gains in PGA Tour prize money. Even so, Woods said he never intended to create a champion golfer. "I make it very, very clear that my purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person," Woods told Golf Digest magazine about his book, "Training a Tiger: A Father's Guide to Raising a Winner in Both Golf and Life." Tiger Woods emulates both balance and composure extremely well. His form while hitting the golf ball is balanced and composed. His demeanor on the course is also balanced and composed. I can’t think of any instance where Tiger lost his composure Mental poise is concentration. That's what fame brings, a distinctive poise from being in control all the time… My main focus is on my game Tiger Woods  Tiger woods The greatest golfer (Tiger Woods) ...fame brings, a distinctive poise from being in control all the time               Poise-You will need: Reason ripe deliberation resolved on a definite line of conduct Knowledge of one's own value Balanced between the desire to succeed and the fear of failure Correctness of judgment Appreciate the merits of other musicians Power of resist the appeals of self-indulgence and love exhibiting yourself in a favorable light form a correct estimate of others Never force your talents" never let pass such opportunities this for exhibiting himself in a favorable light Enemy of poise is feelings and impulse Sincerity toward oneself appreciate the merits of other musicians Music poise power is the result from the mastery of oneself. Music education must help musicians develop the poise necessary to keep theirfooting in a music career of constant disappointment and changes. Power is the power derived from the mastery of self.
