Last Saturday, I gradutated. I now hold my Master of Arts in Music Performance from Texas Woman’s University. Mom, Dad, Rob, and his parents were there and we had a party afterwards at Razoo’s in Plano and at our house where we were joined by Rob’s sister and her family. It was a lot of fun. Then I had the talent show at school this week. To make a long story short, I haven’t played my flute in a while.
But I’ve been doing some thinking about this project. I think I need to outline some goals before embarking on this quest. First of all the performance goal is key to the whole project. But – and I can’t believe I’m writing this – that’s the easy part.
The articles are going to be the part that really matters. In the next few weeks I really need to decide what direction I want them to take. Do I want them to be general articles or specific to certain components of the performance of Bach? If I’m going for specificity, what should those topics be? Who is my audience? Are these articles to be written for pedagogical purposes? Lots to think about
