Can you believe this week marks one year since the start of all this craziness with the coronavirus? I can't, it seems like such a long time ago. #SaturdayThoughts

Rain pattering down on the roof with a bit of music in the background makes for a fantastic atmosphere of comfort as I try to fall asleep. What are some of your favorite comfort sounds? #ComfortSounds #Insomnia

Here's some faith dialogue that I found interesting. I hope you enjoy. #FridayMorning #ConversationStarters stereo.com/u/r2169BC0K5kO…

Let's play a game... Finish the musical sentence using whatever you have at your disposal. #WednesdayMorning #MusicalGames ...And go!

I must have too much time on my hands... Anyway, enjoy! Two-Finger Improv Challenge youtu.be/6Yv2e2BbEyY

It's crazy to me that we can have negative windchill one week, 50 degree weather the next. I could almost wear shorts... The saying "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes" is definitely true here. #KansasWeather #WednesdayThoughts

I can't believe I went from wearing winter clothing to wearing summer clothing. #TuesdayThoughts #KansasWeather

Psa: please don't try to help me unless I ask for it. Sometimes, "helping" by giving me directions in the opposite direction I'm going or by pushing me that direction hurts more than it helps. Thanks.

Yes, there are ways to practice improv, even though I struggle to explain how I do it. Anyway, I wanted to try my hand at this, so here goes: Practicing Improvisation Using Chick Corea's Idea of Gradients youtu.be/ND_friVm9yA

You realize you're addicted to caffeine when someone tells you they overheard you ordering coffee with an extra shot of espresso... and it already has three shots in it! I ordered a Starbucks brown sugar drink fyi.

A rough translation of what music sounds like to my ears when I'm so burnt out, I can't touch a piano anymore... Someone asked me to explore this, I promise it's not random.

I finally understand why some of my favorite artists took a break off from the music scene. I'm at the point where after this week, I need one too.

Had an amazing time with Kourtnee Kirk at tonight's #Hippodrome2021. We got first as a duo, and she got third as a soloist! It's always a good time when performing together.

Two things hold true especially right now about #KansasWeather: 1. You experience all four seasons. 2. Cold is relative.

I love seeing how something from high school now applies to a class in college. Maybe we couldn't retain everything, but the stuff that we do really pays off. Fyi, the principle is scansion. #ThursdayMorning #CollegeLife #SchoolThoughts

I wake up and what do I see? I see a blank white sheet on the street. No, actually, that's snow, an it's April! Well, welcome to spring in Kansas, I guess. #TuesdayMorning #KansasWeather

All I can say is Chopin's second ballade in F major describes #KansasWeather this time of year, and it's great! #MusicalMonday #MondayThoughts

A Small Etude for the Left Hand youtu.be/vqNbOwsI28E ... this is some thing I wrote because I’ve been having trouble practicingwith my left hand all week. Enjoy.

This is literally me right now with our juries around the corner. It's the music student's equivalent to that scary paper everyone else writes as part of their final exams, but your professors actually judge you right there in the room.

I'm starting to understand what people mean when they say you don't always play music. Sometimes, the music uses you as its conduit, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. It just is.
