The problem of physical distance seems to be one the larger issues in high quality music making today. Whether […]

While gathering the content I can access I have been experimenting with other platforms for my wiki.

For Jack: The outlook for higher education content is promising as long as the institutions themselves evaluate students in the way Jack/Frank/You does/do. The nuts and bolts must be in place (at least sort of) to begin […]

Ironically the symbols used in your IPA are not terribly bad for lyric diction (singing, instead of speaking/reciting).

After getting home lugging my ‘historically accurate Schubert edition’ from which my pianist played, I downloaded the precise score for free here . while trying to wake up I stumbled upon a NY Times article discussing the very same site where I was getting free sheet music from.

Rather, I am beginning with two safe ideas for possible project proposals. In my discipline (music performance) there just happens to be a dearth of accurate resources online. Musicologists, non-performers are able to find […]
