Hello, everyone! I am a lover of music, as well as an aspiring amateur musician. I play the clarinet, ocarina, and balalaika (plus some miscellaneous percussion from time to time). I also compose music from time to time. I am always looking to expand my instrumental horizons, as well, so as you read this blog, you'll see my list of instruments grow.
So what am I going to write about here? Well, I'll record my progress as a musician, give advice to other aspiring musicians, share my insight, and point people in the right direction if they're looking for some new music to enjoy. I may review CDs or post links to Youtube videos (of both my own performances and those of others). Basically, I want to both inform and entertain.
My musical tastes are pretty strange, I suppose. I mostly listen to Romantic-era classical music, ragtime and early jazz, and Eastern European folk music. No, I don't listen to rock or pop or anything like that. No, this isn't some deep, meaningful protest against humanity or some vow I've taken; I simply don't listen to it because I don't like it. I listen to what I really enjoy listening to, and if that falls under the categories of 'nerdy and intellectual,' 'old people music,' or 'just plain bizzare,' oh well. I'll live with it.
So, yeah, I'll get to writing some real content soon. See you then!
