Rules for Students and Teachers
by John Cage

1 Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile.

2 General duties of a student--pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.

3 General duties of a teacher--pull everything out of your students.

4 Consider everything an experiment.

5 Be self-disciplined--this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.

6 Nothing is a mistake. There's no win and no fail, there's only make.

7 The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.

8 Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes.

9 Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It's lighter than you think.

10 Break rules. Even your own rules. Leave plenty of room for X quantities.

"(I)t is without reservation, that I recommend Dan's craftsmanship to any musician, who wishes superior repair and restoration to their instrument. His attention to detail and knowledge will increase the precision of the instrument and the quality of your playing."

-John T. Brown, Tenor Saxophone Artist & Instructor, Marshfield, WI

"My son is a music education major at St. Norbert College. We have brought both of his trumpets in for repair and have been very satisfied. One trumpet was never right from the time of purchase from another store. Michelsen repaired it so that it was better than new. We have been very happy."
  
- Michael Maher, Wausau
