  • Ep. 02 – Anxiety, keeps on tryin’ me…
    Aug 11 2025

    This week we explore the fine art of making your students sweat (musically speaking). I’ll play two pieces that capture the fidgety, feelings of uncertainty that many of our students (and ourselves) experience heading into a new school year. First, the Anxiety Toccata by Scott Price, which doesn't let up from the first note until the double bar. Then I take a spirited dash through Friedrich Burgmüller’s Inquiétude, which offers just enough breathing room to avoid passing out. Along the way, I'll give my thoughts on why the hit pop song “Anxiety” didn’t make today’s playlist (spoiler: I dig the song! Just not such a great piano solo). But you might have some students who want to play it this fall, so I include links to the better arrangements out there.

    Grab your metronome, steady your nerves, and join me for some controlled musical panic!

  • Ep. 01 – The End of Summer, The Start of a New Podcast
    Aug 3 2025
    I hear the cicadas. I'm seeing the back-to-school ads on TV. But let's not say goodbye to summer just yet. On the innaugural episode of the podcast, we listen to three evocative pieces on the joys of summer and the melancholy of August. The three pieces by Martha Hill Duncan and are taken from her collection entitled, "Cottage Days".
