Trapped in Spring

I’m feeling a bit trapped in spring. Maybe its my allergies, maybe its the fact that the school year is a bit long in the tooth at the moment and needs to be done, but here is my next installment of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Violin concertos remixed. 1st Movement this time, and while it isn’t… Continue reading Trapped in Spring

Disquiet 0485- Strange Weather

This has been a week/weekend. I just feel like I have been pulled in 20 different directions, and the stress of this time of the school year with testing is starting to wear on me. Throw in that Marty and Lorraine had a tussle that got a little too rough and now Lorraine has an… Continue reading Disquiet 0485- Strange Weather

That Music Teacher with Bryson Tarbet

Hello all, I had the pleasure to have a conversation with my former student (we won’t say how long ago) Bryson Tarbet and appear on his podcast- That Music Teacher. Bryson teaches elementary music and we had a conversation that focused on what happens to students after the elementary music program is over. Overall it… Continue reading That Music Teacher with Bryson Tarbet

SBO Columnist

I moonlight doing many things, like most teachers. Last summer I became a regular columnist for SBO Magazine, particularly in their orchestra area. I have used the column to discuss relevant topics in music education, but this month, I focused in particular on guitar education, and starting or inheriting a guitar program. If you are… Continue reading SBO Columnist

Disquiet 0483- Type Set

The disquiet project this week was to record yourself typing and use it as the “beat” to your project. I decided it was easier for me to go full on ambient, since my typing really doesn’t follow a beat. More details on the project task here: Disquiet 0483 I recorded myself typing my latest podcast… Continue reading Disquiet 0483- Type Set

Knowing Ableton Comes in Handy…

Probably no podcast episode this week, as this spring break has turned out to be surprisingly busy. I picked up an Easter Sunday gig at a church in my area, and they use Ableton to help coordinate live performances. Awesome right? nice click track with nice cues. One problem, they made production changes that didn’t… Continue reading Knowing Ableton Comes in Handy…

Bratsche Bach the Gap

So upon sleeping on it (or not because the wind was crazy, which made the cats crazy and kept me up all night) And re-reading the instructions for this weeks disquiet junto (0482 Exactly that Gap), I decided I could easily do this. While driving to my parents for our weekly dinner and chat, I… Continue reading Bratsche Bach the Gap

Currently we are getting a spring storm here in the Cincinnati, OH area, and as a part of my season remixes during the current season, I started with Vivaldi’s Spring Concerto (Op.8 No.1) 2nd Mvt. Here is my description: The march of time never quite ceases. This remix and modern take on Vivaldi’s Spring Violin… Continue reading Spring, Rethought
