Here are some things which have been occupying me musically and personally over the last week.
Professionally, I’ve been quite busy. My day job sapped a lot of my energy. But work leads to success, and I’ve set a goal to be better at my day job. I made the Top 10 for sales for the first time this week!
Musically, I’ve been having a lot of fun listening lately. I normally listen to podcasts or audiobooks, just because music is my job, and it’s nice to escape that at times. But I am researching for some big projects, so I’m listening to a ton – music for saxophone, specifically, and chamber music that comes up in my social media/YouTube feeds. I’m enjoying a recent recording of a composition of mine, which was featured on a score video channel (content continues below video):
As far as writing goes…I’m revising a band march I wrote last year, and readying some other scores for sending out to publishers. I’m working on a Christmas-themed piece for band based on my Latvian heritage. And I’m starting my #2024saxophoneproject (details here). And I’m starting to think more like an entrepreneur…especially regarding social media engagement.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
