Character: 7 Characteristics of a Music Protégé A protégé is a learner. To learn is to revise your present understanding of music. Music education is a process that changes the learner. Music protégés want what a teacher-life coach that has retained information. A teacher is to be a learner. The teacher is a mentor that remembered their former music information. A mentor is a musician who has remembered and retained music knowledge. In comparison, parasites want what a protégés has earned. A mentor is the antidote to the protégés financial and musical inexperience. Protégés are learners who have not heard the secrets and truths that melodies, rhythms and harmonies can reveal. Further, a protégé is blind to the music knowledge and understanding. The Protégés music inexperience leaves the learner unaware, uninformed and blind to the music truth. In addition, music protégés may be blind to the music trends, industry requirements, and performance protocols and demands. A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Become a protégé and you will become a learner! Engage an enthusiastic lifetime of learning. A protégé is a learner for a lifetime. Thus, you will remain a lifetime learner through ongoing informal, professional development and study. Musicians need to be in a constant state of learning and growth. A mentor is Gods antidote for the lifetime of learning. God has several antidotes and mechanisms for the trials and errors of music life. Herbert Hoover described the cocktail hour as “the pause between the errors and trials of the day and the hopes of the night.” Like the cocktail the mentor becomes the antidote as “the pause between the errors and trials of the day and the hopes of the night.” Pain, mentor, grace and mercy are God method for correcting human behavior. A musician’s life without correction is like a vessel without a compass. Growing can be painful. Sometimes pain can be instructive and helpful. Many times; pain, mentorship grace and mercy have been a musicians’ rudder and sail. A mentor allows the musician to experience life without the common pain. A mentor is Gods antidote for the lifetime of learning. Every protégé musician needs a mentor to midwife their new music concepts. The mentor will suggest a “lamaze method” that will minimize the growing birth pains.    Mentor Protégé  Relationships   Fred Hammond has been a mentor to Israel Houghton  Milton Biggham, executive director of Savoy Records mentored Kirk Franklin Thomas A.
