- The Digital Age has changed the way the recording industry chooses music to publish. The industry now is able to rely on data collected on what people want to hear, so they no longer publish based on the gut instincts of music experts. This means we're getting more of what we want. This is great for business, but is it so great for music?
-Conducting class gave me a reverential respect for large ensemble conductors. They truly have the most challenging performance job, in my humble opinion.
Awesome thing from this month:
- I've had the pleasure of perusing my former piano teacher's new book, Piano Student's Tool Kit, and discovering his new website: http://www.pianoinstructionandtuning.com
To-do's and Goals for this Month:
- Finish the examples in the aforementioned Piano Student's Tool Kit, including Advanced Blues Licks
-Reach performing proficiency with my by ear piece, A Perfect Day, from (don't laugh) the Peter Rabbit Sountrack. Truly one of the most melodically calming and mysteriously searching pieces I've ever heard.
-Review one Baroque piece to performance proficiency
