I used to read about composers that would lock themselves in their study and work all day. Day and night composing music, hardly coming up to eat, sleep or shower. Though most people would think that was insane, I’ve sometimes […]

I have continued to work on my musical this last week. My goal was to finish the rewriting of my script by the end of February so that I could focus on finishing up the songs, and recording them in […]

A few weeks ago, I think I told you about a class that I attended about story writing. It was wonderful. It opened up my eyes to some ideas I’d never thought of before. By the end of the class, […]

When my husband and I first met, my husband was enrolled in a ballroom dance class. Naturally I was impressed, and thought that meant that he enjoyed dancing. Of course, I should have known that mostly it was just so […]

I just thought I’d let you in on a couple of them, so that if I get off track and it doesn’t happen you can remind me and keep me on track =)
Musical goals for this year:
