As we approach summer, it is time to work on new repertoire, learn a new technique, continue to build current technique, listen to music, read some books, and go experience art. It would be great to hear what you are planning on doing. Add your comments below. Here are my goals for the summer:

A couple of days ago, I talked about reading Amanda Palmer’s The Art of Asking: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help. I first learned about Amanda through her TED Talk video. TED Talks are very inspiring and insightful. Take some time and watch this video and hopefully you will want to watch more TED Talks.
