Hard to believe it is 2015. Even harder to believe that it has been 2 years (!) since I last wrote on my blog!!
I guess I could say that I have been extremely busy.
That is mostly true.
I have been doing a lot of international traveling. I have been acquiring lots of new students. I started a teaching job at a new, very cool school. I ventured out of my comfort level a bit and added performing in a huge dance/theatre/musical production (rather than in a band), in addition to being the music coach for it. Glad I did it. Don’t think I need to do that again 🙂
There have been recitals (for my students). There have been school performances galore.
The past two years I have been trying lots of different things. Trying to find what my next step or direction might be.
All of the traveling I did helped me come to the conclusion that I really want to get back to my Classical roots and composition. Almost feel like I should go back to school and get my Masters Degree. . .Almost.
But that would simply sidetrack me from jumping in and start composing orchestral music again. So, I’m nixing the ‘back to school’ idea and jumping in.
Hold on! It’s going to be an exciting ride!!
You GO girl! I am excited to jump on your adventure train and join you on your exciting ride! I loved your sharing your travels with us….through pictures, lecture, and even a cd for me to keep filled with beautiful orchestrations.
I look forward to your blog keeping us abreast of your adventures as you go.
You are inspiring me to pay some attention to my own long neglected blog!
Jumping in with you!
Sounds wonderful, Jamie! We just started listening to Handel’s Water Music. Justen loves music and it’s fun to learn along with him. Now that I know the story I can picture the new King in the barge, leaning over to compliment Handel on his composition. Good luck on your new compositions!
Thanks Corinne! I am so glad you are introducing Justen to Handel. He is a great inspiration for me.
