Johann Sebastian Bach portrait, reflecting on returning to his music and listening

A reflection on re-entry, listening, and embodied attention, written while preparing Granados’s Goyescas for the next stage of performance.

Technique does not begin at the keyboard. It begins with preparing the body.

Before words existed, sound carried meaning. A quiet reflection on how singing was born.

Sight-reading is not about speed or accuracy in isolation. It emerges when perception, motion, and understanding move together.

Before rhythm becomes music, it already exists in the way we move.

Learning a new piece of music begins with listening. A reflection on sound, musical notes, and how music becomes familiar over time.

What we believe about technique shapes everything that follows.

You have your art. It will hold you.
