Seminar in the late Beethoven quartets at Dartington Hall
Description
An account of the resource
My music education was primarily as a professional pianist. As part of this training, I went to the Dartington Hall international summer school in music to play in the piano master class by William Glock, who was Head of the BBC and a strong supporter of young musicians. Also at Dartington was Hans Keller, Head of BBC Modern Music and an expert on the works of Beethoven and Schoenberg. Keller gave a series of analytic seminars on Beethoven's late string quartets with a live string quartet to play the examples, the Chilingirian Quartet. While I had studied musical forms in college, Keller's seminars were a revelation of insight into these extraordinary works, their logic of structure and power of innovation. I decided, suddenly and definitely, that this was the path in music I was going to follow. During the course of the summer school I got to know Keller, and he encouraged me to bring my analytic work on Schoenberg to him at the BBC, which I did. Much of my professional work as a teacher, educator and writer stemmed from this powerful 'centeredness' of musical understanding: that music, and the humanities more broadly are essential parts of human experience and understanding. They give us the tools to delve deeply and internally into texts and works to find meaning, and opportunities to share those insights with others.

Description
An account of the resource
After spending some time searching for my very own, singular, life-altering "humanities moment" that set me on my chosen path, I came to the conclusion that no such moment exists. Instead, my relationship to the humanities is everything, it's my life-long companion. Every important milestone has its own humanities "thing" - a poem, a painting, a song, a place. The actual "thing" itself is relatively unimportant. What matters are the emotions they teach and the people with which they help you connect. Thus, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer's poetry is special to me because it helped me fall in love for the first time. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's "Hombres necios" guided me through my first adventures with feminism. Beethoven taught me to understand my own pain and sorrow during my cliché, teenage existential turmoil. For me, the power of the humanities is its ability to reach people, connecting us and teaching us to appreciate our differences.

An English professor
Description
An account of the resource
Several years ago, I was invited to teach a literary translation class at the college in my small town in Montana, something that was completely out of my profession as I was a civil engineer with a master's degree in Information Systems. Moreover, it was not part of my remotest dreams but since at the time I was the only native Spanish speaker in my town, with a master’s degree, I decided to accept the invitation. The experience turned out to be wonderful. So much that a few years later, I had already finished my first semester in the doctoral program in Latin American literature. While being a student, I also had the opportunity to be an intern for the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere in UF. There, I coordinated table events for the Pop-Up Culture Week where students, after learning about the Humanities Moments concept, were able to create their own Moment. It was so successful that we repeated the event a few months later at the International Education Week.
That special day when, in Montana, that professor and now friend invited me to teach changed my life forever. Today, very close to finishing my PhD, having taught, and having worked as an intern, I can say that being a teacher is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in my professional life and I would not change it for anything in the world. The satisfaction of first seeing my students with their eyes full of curiosity and interest when I mention cultural and life events lived in my country and in Latin America, as part of the language and culture classes, and later, exchanging thoughts and experiences with them at the events reminded me that humanities are not only knowledge but also amazing human being experiences that we share and pass on from heart to heart.
