Student recital favors are being made today! ❄️🎶😁

Did not expect to find any classical music by women today with record thrifting. So I was extra thrilled to snag this 1980s recording of Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn by pianist Judith Alstadter. 🎵🤩

"How to Think Like a Woman" by Regan Penaluna: This book is incredibly eye-opening, powerful, and relatable. Gives me chills while listening to the audiobook 🥹🤓

I was gifted a record player over the weekend. These are my first two record purchases! Any recommendations from other classical music folk?🎼🎶 Thanks in advance! 😊

Next on my reading list is Eric Beck Rubin's novel, School of Velocity. Excited to dive in this afternoon 🤓📚

I remember learning of the “greats” of music history as a young girl in piano lessons. My biggest question then was, why were they all men? Now, my question is what if I had learned about women in music as a child? I can't go back, but I can teach my own students a different way. 🎼🎹

Like trying to measure air with a ruler. 🌬️📏

Adaline Shepherd (1883-1950) was a prolific American ragtime composer. She wrote several popular piano pieces in her twenties, but her work fell into obscurity after her marriage and retirement. Even her grandchildren didn’t know she was a composer until a reporter reached out to them in the 70s.

I finished “The Second Ending” by Michelle Hoffman last week. I loved it for its humor, heart, and the powerful message about self-belief and second chances in music. 🎹 Read my full review and find out if you might like it too:
