As we move closer to the end of the year and take a breather from all the holiday bustle, I’d just like to take a moment and say thank you for coming here and reading my teaching blog. This has been an open diary and forum to reflect on what’s happening; –mainly in the music industry side of things. I’ve pondered opening a music theory “House of Pancakes” blog to deal with the first year theory curriculum (the most important of all things!)….but I barely have time during the day to reflect upon the music industry side. I would encourage my colleagues to try this education blogging; –it opens lines of communication and expands my classroom and my thinking. That can be a really good thing when you’re a stuffy old college professor who’s over twice the age of his students. Some old geezer who wears a tie most days and needs to clean up his office; –that’s me.
In other news, I recorded with the Digidesign tape saturation plugin. I stuck it on a master fader track and would have to say that my first impression is that I like it, but I need more time to really figure out what it can do. It’s an expensive plug-in but Santa was pretty good this year.
Posting has been and will continue to be light this week as I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and holiday chores w/ family.
And thanks again for reading. I really appreciate it!
If you’d like to read a post about gratitude with grace, I’d recommend Louis Schmier’s holiday post.
Peace.
