I should probably be working on my piano rep, but I'm having too much fun as a dad and 7-12 school teacher.
When you're a music teacher, and your toddler INSISTS on photographic evidence that you brought her doll to work with you to play the "big piano".

I appreciate how this article encourages musicians to study up and lean into the differences between musical traditions. What a great motivator to learn and share!
“Like many non-Western composers, I have always wondered “how far is too far?” when it comes to fusing various traditions with classical music.”

Have you read Hamed Erfani and Yasaman Seif’s article “Blending Global Folk Traditions with Western Classical Music” yet? Check it out at:
Blending Global Folk Traditions with Western Classical Music: How Far Is Too Far?
Composer Hamed Erfani and cellist Yasaman Seif share strategies to retain authenticity when merging Iranian and Western classical styles.

DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF THE ECSTASY FOR THE SAKE OF FEEDING THE FEAR!
There’s no time left to hide. These are scary times, in reality and on the diamond.

Don’t cheat yourself the ecstasy for the sake of feeding that fear. Good things are possible, even for you. Even for the Seattle Mariners. www.lookoutlanding.com/good-news/13...

Fancy an all-you-can-eat salmon buffet? Then head on over to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska.

It's the salmon run season right now, and the waterfall is absolutely swarming with bears. They've all gotten so chubby from feasting.

🐻🧸 Yummy..
