First Scribbles

A few years ago, my father, a retired research scientist, urged me to keep a professional journal. He regretted having not recorded the little ideas that he stumbled upon in the course of his work—little ideas that might have become big ones, given some time, careful thought, and study. For me, this blog is that imagined journal. It is a space to pin down some ideas about music and pedagogy that might merit further pondering. I hope, too, that they might spark some ideas and inspiration for others.
