30/30 Composition Project
I vowed to write 30 seconds of new music per day for 30 days. These are self-contained pieces that might lead to larger works later - but for now they are what they are - a series of short works.
Having four-year-old triplet boys at home has really cut into my writing during the summer and teaching Theory, Skills, Technology, Jazz Appreciation, Small Jazz Ensembles and a Guitar Ensemble has really cut into my writing time during the school year, so this was my compromise.
Thanks for listening and feel free to contact me with thoughts, comments, suggestions, criticism, etc. Scream at me!!!
30/30 Project - Summer 2009
