Incredible! Thank you for sharing these reflections! I've written a teeny bit about my frustration with the de-contextualized teaching of 16-18th century canon in music schools, but you've taken it so much deeper and farther. And your visceral reminders that notation is just a pale representation of what is possible come through in a really fresh way here. I hope your writing (and music!) inspires others to make music more intentionally.
Thank you for engaging, Shane. I strongly believe society will benefit from being a bit more musical, helped by the ideas you write about! I’m happy it resonated.
Always enjoy your thoughtful musings, Jordan! I particularly liked your confrontation of the “new knowing”, difficulties interpreting the language of music, and how knowledge is meant to be lived! Action > Idle thinking. Apply thoughts to behaviors…just some things I jotted down after reading. Lovely!
Thank you Kate! Love the takeaway on action. Actually your notes after reading look very similar to mine—excited for what’s ahead. Always great hearing your feedback!
