The Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius, is a Hendiatris, or a figure of speech.   These three word phrases were typical in ancient Greece and Rome (Veni, Vidi, Vici, etc.).    Citius, Altius, and Fortius translate to English as Faster, Higher, and Stronger.  The Olympics bring about a sense and feeling of the common good and a brotherhood among humanity.  

One can hardly watch the Olympics without being awestruck by the excellence that is achieved by the athletes of the games and the feeling of goodwill that is perpetuated by the event.  Although perfection is rarely seen (if even possible), excellence abounds and we as musicians should literally, take note of what it is that makes these Olympians truly great.

Let us start off our new school year by reflecting on how our music students, music ensembles, and even we as teachers and educators, can obtain excellence within our music programs:

1. We must first know what excellence is…
      What are the best examples of our music, ensembles, teaching techniques, etc.?  Without an acute awareness of “the best” we are blindsided by our own ignorance and any comparison that we make of what our achivements might be are foolery.  
2. We must be goal oriented and disciplined…
      What are our musical goals and what must be done to achieve them?  Without a goal and the discipline necessary to achieve it, we are simply wandering quickly to nowhere.  
3. We must believe in our cause…
      Without believing in what we are doing, we are destined to mediocrity at best.
4. We must persevere…
      As students and teachers, we must not be afraid to fail in order to achieve. Whether something we are working toward takes one time or one thousand times, we must be ready to make the commitment to continually improve and move forward.   Even the most disciplined and goal-oriented of people must persevere to achieve things worthwhile.
5. We must strive for perfection…
      Perfection can never truly be achieved.  There will always be someone better, or something that can be done better.   Our struggle for perfection leads us to excellence in what we do.  In order to be excellent…we must first know what excellence is… See number 1 above...
