I feel like I'm back in Philadelphia when the Phillies won in 2008. Hiding from the imminent chaos.

I was honored when @deccaclassics asked me to write the album liner notes for violinist Randall Goosby’s debut album, ‘Roots’. This celebration of music by Black composers presents works by Florence Price, William Grant-Still, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, Xavier Foley and more!

Scrolling through socials should be a reward for doing your long tones. Accept the challenge. Thank me later.

Thank you to the cop who suggested an auto salvage shop to replace my broken window. To the person who tried to pull my radio out and only succeeded in breaking it? Screw you.

If you hear those phrases uttered, COUNTER THEM.

Diversity is not just filling out orchestra sections with some “color” for your patrons to see, it means empowering diverse leadership. A good place to start would be with those who have built a reputation and career providing excellence to the field...

Do you know how unimpeachably strong a black musician needs to be able to get and keep a leadership position? So, I don’t want to hear that the level is simply not high enough. That is a lie perpetuated to maintain a level of privilege within the status quo.

@mcgillab Now that's a trio right there! 😍

Listening back to my practice recording and heard “why do I have to suck so much?”. My inner critic is a helpful savage.

@jennifergrim listening to your video now. Beautiful and expressive interpretation! Definitely will make sure my student watches this one. Honestly can't even take all of this black girl magic at once tbh 🥰

@alogginshull My student is working on your piece, Homeland for a competition. It's super dope. Congrats!
