"Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire."

  - W. B. Yeats

Back to School! - for students and teachers alike. This semester, I am coaching brass instrumentalists at the Mission Bay Montessori Academy, and in the San Diegito School district in Encinitas. It's challenging and rewarding work - there's nothing quite like it when a student has an "Aha!"-moment. It's priceless.

Also on the educational subject, we are starting to book classroom visits featuring "Peter & the Wolf". Still looking for new ways to fund school visits.

New stuff:

MWC
- Check out the Maritime Wind Corps page to hear some new mp3's featuring woodwinds. Soon, I'll be updating the music on The Patriots page to include more "Americana" and less "Sousa" to distinguish these two bands.

Gallery
I put a few new pictures up in the gallery.

Agent website update:
Almost there! Should be up by month's end.

'Til next time - bye. And to my students:

Practice, Practice, Practice!
