I feel so lucky and grateful. I am writing this today as a thank-you card, addressed to my friends, to my readers, and more broadly to the world. My guess is that it will be a couple of years until performance arts resume its regular activities in full force. I miss my audience, and performing live. But even in the midst of all of this, I can continue to create and deliver my music, with the love, help and support from my friends and followers, who care about what I do.

The prescriptive nonfiction, with supplemental audio/visual recordings, calls for a revolution in the way music is taught, used and practiced, today.
