It had been at least a year since I had been in this studio though, and I was excited to bring a camera with me.

Kiwi-inspired composition.

No one looks forward to auditions. But they are inevitable.

We had about two hours to get a sneak peak of the building today, and I was absolutely blown away. Many photos inside.

Behind the scenes for my junior recital

Oh my.

A full report on my first week of classes and the semester ahead.

In this post: notes on being double-degree, funny looks, historical performance, me on a soapbox (figuratively), rants on authorial intent, more apocryphal stories, why I play the recorder, musical temperament, A440 Hz, the varieties of recorders, a picture, clips of my junior recital, and Tom DeLay dancing with the stars.

I never knew how much Randolph Coleman meant to me and how much of an impact he has made on my life until he retired.

Two more years until I graduate. (Well, three more semesters to be precise, but either way I'm over the hump.) Good thing? Bad thing? There's a saying I've heard a couple of times up in central Maine that I love: "Tough tellin', not knowin'." But I'm enjoying the ride more and more every day. Ayuh.

Does being a double degree student make you less of a musician? Less of a scholar?

New music is alive and well in Oberlin, but so is the old. A look at the concerts I attended or performed in this past week.
