Started working on this song with a new student today. It took me a minute to warm up to it, but it really is powerful.

People use the importance other subjects to undermine the necessity of the arts in public education - but thanks to a musical, my students REQUEST to literally recite the life of Alexander Hamilton and his role in American history. Without arts education... well, you know.

did such a great job at the Youth Jam Session this past weekend. Such a great opportunity for students to be able to perform at this venue to a full room.

The Meaning Behind Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" Is Revealed, But That Doesn't Explain... In author John Seabrook's new book, The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory, the origins of Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" have been revealed, to clarify, well, that whole "hit." Apparently two Swedish songwriters wrote the lyrics and thought that "hit" was synonymous with "call." Therefore,

Perspective is everything.

""I mean, they can say that all they want. Those are real feelings that every single person goes through. I think that it’s okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn’t about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you. I’m a songwriter. Everything affects me.”

“I’m a songwriter,” surely, is the apt response. The tradition of musical score-settling stretches all the way back to medieval troubadours and lyre-plucking ancients; it’s been a mainstay of American song at least since the first bluesman aimed an acidic twelve-bars at the woman who’d done him wrong. Bob Dylan is an incorrigible, at times malicious, kisser-and-teller; for decades, rock critics have been quoting with admiration Elvis Costello’s famous dictum: “The only motivation points for me writing all these songs are revenge and guilt.” Drake’s new album Nothing Was the Same is, as usual, a vérité catalogue of his “bitches” and b***y calls, in which he goes so far as to name one of his civilian exes, “Courtney from ­Hooters on Peachtree”—a creepier move by far than Swift’s sly swipes at her famous former beaux. It’s hard not to detect a sexist double standard in the policing of Swift’s confessions, especially when you consider the routine misogyny in the songs of rockers, rappers, and woebegone beardy indie balladeers. Taylor Swift is a young woman who dates guys, falls in love, falls out of love, and writes some songs about it. Must we begrudge Swift her muse?"

Platinum Underdog: Why Taylor Swift Is the Biggest Pop Star in the World Sitting with Swift in her homebody Nashville penthouse, it’s not hard to see how her perpetual insider-outsider persona has helped make her bigger than any of her peers with records this fall.

Turns out that Pittsburgh is keeping me for another year, which means I am opening a select number of slots for more voice students! I am also available for workshops for bands and groups. Check out my website and message/email/call/text me to discuss details.
