A blog about sharing music in unexpected places. Saturday, January 19, 2013. At Last, Some News. Two young ANIM students. During November and December, I was involved in the audition process for the incoming fourth grade class.

The little applicants were roughly nine to eleven years old and came from either Afceco. Kim Mai Nguyen (a visiting teacher) giving a lesson.

Enharmonically Equivalent: December 2012

http://enharmonicallyequivalent.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

A blog about sharing music in unexpected places. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. A few nights ago I played at a surprise going away party for a woman at the Canadian Embassy. She was a strong advocate for our school and a loyal concert-goer, so it made sense that I was there to represent ANIM and to salute her for her support. After playing Tchaikovsky's Valse Sentimentale. I was joined by three guitarists for a sing-a-long rendition of Green Day's Time of Your Life. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A blog about sharing music in unexpected places. Friday, October 18, 2013. What a month is has been! 65279;. 65279;. How do you use music as something fun and positive to do after school instead of getting involved with a gang, while also making no concessions for students based on their background, family, or financial situation? It's a huge issue and most problems circle back to it somehow. But it's an interesting and worthwhile challenge, and grappling with it has helped me to develop prin...

A blog about sharing music in unexpected places. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Monday, March 18th, was my last day in Afghanistan. I am now writing this last, and final blog entry from New York City. One of my last weekends in Afghanistan was spent in Panjshir, a spectacular valley tucked away in the mountains north of Kabul. In my seven months, it was my only excursion outside the city. And it was one of the best trips of my life, because I saw a different. Say is that Afghanistan is both the saddest and.

Enharmonically Equivalent: Farewell to Jamaica

http://enharmonicallyequivalent.blogspot.com/2013/12/farewell-to-jamaica.html

A blog about sharing music in unexpected places. Friday, December 20, 2013. Loves music; it's so vital to the culture that it's almost a prerequisite for living. They particularly love their own home-grown artists, but their overall, deeply fundamental connection to music seems to transcend genres. For Jamaica, music is not a cultural extravagance or a leisure activity, it is a part of. It is something elemental. This kind of relationship with music is something I will take with me when I go.
