Behold! My to-do list of items to grade at the end of the semester!
And this is just one of my three institutions, from just two of my six classes.

Super appreciate this! I will forward your email to my student. His name is Zander. 😊

Thank you so much! Could I give my student your contact information?

(2/2) Any/all help is welcome and appreciated!
And please feel free to tag anyone who you think might be able and willing to assist.
THANK YOU!!

(1/2) Composer Hive Mind:
I have a composition student who is writing for trans voice. Are there any resources available for writing for trans voices? My research discovered some resources for trans vocal pedagogy, but nothing specifically about composing for trans voices.

What’s stopping General Mills from releasing an “Oops! All Marshmallows!” edition of Lucky Charms?

New holiday tradition: The day before thanksgiving will henceforth be known as Nap-time Wednesday, for all those who have the day off. Particularly relevant for students and teachers, who could use a day of rest from the semester before dealing with family on Thanksgiving day.

I was always going to ramble on about how neat and cool harmony is. Fortunately, a couple institutions decided to pay me to do so.

Same! This is all in good fun.

If you write that, I will write “Not Another Rothko Chapel” in response, in the same vein as “Not Another Teen Movie”

Gonna write ‘Music for 19 Musicians’ which is one more, and therefore, one better than Steve Reich.

I mean, we all should’ve seen this one coming.
Voting for Democrats is like going to a Harlem Globetrotters game and rooting for the Washington Generals.

This short video on the sound design in Raiders of the Lost Ark is amazing for many reasons.
But the final statement about the best sounds happening by accident, and it’s a matter of keeping one’s ears open is perhaps THE BEST ADVICE FOR MUSIC COMPOSITION available.

This world will break your heart.
Have the courage to love it anyway.

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is a police state

Are we…are we at war with Venezuela?
WHY TF ARE WE ATTACKING VENEZUELA?!! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It’s ok, I didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize either

(2/2) Moral of the story? You have all the power within you to create your reality. You can make it as bad or as good as you want. Sure, bad things out of your control will still happen. But you have the power to decide if those things will break you or make you stronger.
Stay strong! ✊

(1/2) Here’s the thing: Life never gave you or anyone else lemons. Lemons are a man-made crossbred hybrid between the sour orange and the citron. People gave us lemons. And lemonade.

(2/2) Hope the game is actually fútbol, not football. Hope Argentina beats Brazil. Hope Bad Bunny is the ONLY U.S. citizen on the field all day.

(1/2) Bad Bunny is performing the Super Bowl halftime show, all in Spanish? GOOD.
Hope it’s subtitled in five other languages, NONE of them English. Hope the announcers speak Spanish throughout the game.

This explains so much

That is the funnest fact

Waiting for Godot Broadway Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide Book theatre tickets for Waiting for Godot in New York. Sunset Boulevard director Jamie Lloyd stages a new production of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter starring in Waiting for Godot is somehow perfect for an aging Bill and Ted.

Bill: Well, should we learn to play guitar?
Ted: Yes, let’s learn to play guitar.
They do not learn to play guitar.
