Sergei Rachmaninoff observed that "music
is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough
for music", underscoring the limitless
possibilities for discovering ways to APPRECIATE
music. He would have known, being a genius pianist,
conductor, and composer! Teaching people to teach
themselves promotes a
long life of learning.
I started this website back in 1998
with the intention of collecting STORIES FROM THE
ORCHESTRA. Life got in the way and these few pages are
as far as I've gone. So I like to steer you to Jason
Heath's Bass Blog for your humorous and insightful
ENTERTAINMENT. However I can offer to you, your
children and music students my EDUCATIONAL Young
Musicians' Guide to the Orchestra. These are
rough listings of common musical
and orchestra performance problems
and what I'm teaching MYSELF! Everyone is welcome
to read it, but be warned that the
language gets fairly technical.
