As classically trained musicians and bloggers, we’ve been fortunate enough to have colleagues and contacts in many different musical fields. We’d like to provide readers with an insider’s look by sharing interviews with people working in various aspects of the musical world. [...]

Thanks to David, the community manager, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. You can see what I wrote at the following link. Decibel is an new website that is [...]

I have temporarily reverted back to an older theme while I figure out what the heck happened and why.  I upgraded my version of Thesis over the weekend, which might have [...]

In addition, I promised the site was going to go through a redesign, [...]

Since I started blogging a year ago some things have changed.  As we all know, life just feels like it is getting more chaotic and from time to time an adjustment is necessary.  I have always believed [...]
