摘要：It was in the early summer of 1983 when I first met Clive Robbins. As one of eight students on the original Nordoff-Robbins Diploma course in Leighton Place (North London), we eagerly awaited the arrival of Clive and Carol Robbins who were to be with us for one month. Yet we had all 'met' Clive before in different ways. Like so many prospective students about to start the course, I had read Nordoff and Robbins' book Therapy in Music for Handicapped Children. Clive's ¨C and of course, Paul's ¨C 'voice' could be clearly heard. The writing flowed, certainly, but the content was groundbreaking and the photos within the book illuminated moments of joy and intense creativity. And then there was Clive's speaking voice that we heard weekly on a reel-to-reel tape recorder as part of the Talks on Music series throughout our training. The timbre in his voice was warm and mellow yet also youthful; here was a man who could not help but speak in the present tense. Words like immediacy, living and now punctuated every sentence. Yet he could also be firm and to the point; I often wondered how Anna must have felt when ¨C in session 1 ¨C Clive promptly challenged her by saying, "Who's gonna pick that stick up, eh."
