January Checklist
There are a few tasks in an annual checklist for me to do on or around January 1.
Growth
Feels Like A Hobby
The best way to know you’re heading the right direction.
Growth Up Close
It’s almost impossible to see growth up close.
Look Inward To Look Forward
I asked my students, in our last rehearsal in November, to look forward by looking inward.
Everything Is Practice
Everything is practice.
Music is enough for a lifetime
John Williams said it perfectly.
Repetition As An Accelerant
I wrote 49 rhythm section arrangements in the last 10 days.
No Longer Acceptable
The good disappointment: what was once as good as I could do is now no longer acceptable.
Resisting The Urge To Grow
Part of the problem of the over-committed modern youth is this challenge.
I’ll Try Again Tomorrow
It’s okay to end your day telling yourself this.
