Portrait of Frank Townsell by his student Vicky Acosta. This drawing shows well the person Frank Townsell was, involved with his students, attentive to their performances so as to be able precisely to give them clues as to what was needed for improvement; genuinely respectful of his students, so as to earn their respect and admiration in return. Townsell was a tall and a handsome person, physically imposing and magisterial. But the ultimate strengths in this man were his gentleness, and the quiet, pleasing authority with which he would speak of matters musical over lunch.
