Hello, readers!

This is just a quick post to invite you to check out my other blog, written with my duo partner, marimbist Paul Fadoul.

We have a new website, and you can read our blog here.  We write a lot about what our duo is up to, and you might particularly enjoy our satirical video series, Notes “on” Performance .  Here’s a sample:

My marimba partner, Paul Fadoul, and I just got to spend 5 days in beautiful Putney, Vermont, in a residency hosted by the Yellow Barn Music School. It was so beautiful and peaceful there–it was like being at a music spa.

I made a video comparing the experience of practicing in New York City with practicing in Vermont:

How about you?  Any experiences practicing in beautiful locations?  Did the beauty of the place change your experience of practicing?  Did it have any lasting effects?
