Life update:
Retired from full-time teaching, moved to Florida. I am going to ‘slow down’ and see what consulting, design and adjudication looks like. Some other projects coming as well, more on that later. Right now, rest, reading, resumes…

Happy New Year!

Thinking in five year intervals, the last five have been pretty wild…

What’s in store for the next five!?

I don’t X much, but this caught me:

"You can go to hell without moving an inch, just focus on what you lack.
You can taste heaven without leaving earth, just rejoice in what you have."
- James Clear

Thanks to an old friend for that one.

@drdavegerhart 2. The perception that percussionists are ‘specialists’ usually mallet percussionists or ‘drummers’. Even honor bands separate the kids in the audition process.

[Neil Landini @nlandini]

@drdavegerhart Two things IMO:

1. Lack of curriculum in directors/ kids hands keeping percussionists reading on mallets/snare/timpani/accessories at similar or same standard as other instrumentalists. (There is one I know for sure that exists)
