I hope you're all doing great, happy weekend!
I just wanted to give a couple of updates- the past week has been a bit crazy with my passport drama- I'm supposed to fly to Belarus to shoot a music video with Sabaton for the main theme of a new video game, however it is proving extremely difficult so far due to covid to get an appointment to renew my passport! My passport just* expired and the shoot was booked super last minute, so myself and about a dozen other peo...

I'm streamlining my work flow as I often find myself a little stressed out trying to do so many things myself- I so appreciate everyone at the Snail Mail Tier but am looking to do another digital option for that tier instead of a physically shipped box or letter each month for both time and fiscal reasons (shipping costs for my wonderful international Patreon family costs more than the Snail Mail Tier which is also a logistical problem, oops! haha.)

Oh. My. God. 15 years ago... This was my very first band METAPHOR on our very first Tour of Australia in 2007. The project ended disastrously (lol) as did my other past band projects, but watching this back is so fun and insane because I honestly don't remember 95% of what was captured here on film! It does bring back so many other memories from that time in my life and all the firsts during that era.

I hope the first week of the new year has been good for everyone. I had my post-operation appointment 2 days ago and am relieved that the surgery was successful in removing all the pre-cancerous cells in my cervix! 😅 Whew.

Surprise! A new Cello Vibrato Discussion/Tutorial will be premiering live tomorrow, Sunday, October 17, 2020, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET!
I discuss and demonstrate the many types/shapes/speeds of vibrato and why it's so important to take the time to break down and work carefully on the technical aspects of mastering them all. It's so important to give yourself every tool available to express yourself as a musician fully!
