Many entrepreneurial composers I work with in my Pro Group love mapping out their visions - what they'd like to achieve in their life, art, and business over the next twelve months.
To support that, I set up a monthly "Accountability Thread" in our student portal with a pr...

Lessons from a toddler in turbulence
A few weeks ago, my wife and I flew home for the holidays to catch up with our families in Connecticut.
