Jazzy Days

It's been so busy since the beginning of July that I haven't had a chance to sit down and write a proper post. I plan to do that soon. In fact, I have a new composition that is almost ready and I'll be unveiling it before the end of the month! In the meantime please enjoy a jazzy new playlist from my Soundcloud!

Summer Memorizing Project (+ a big reveal!)

Happy Canada Day! It is a beautiful sunny day here-- 26°C with a light breeze-- and I just finished memorizing movement 1 of my Bach Partita. The Partita No. 5 in G major is part of a set of six harpsichord suites that were composed by J.S. Bach between the years 1725-1730 (or so). Each suite contains a number of short dance movements such as an Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and Gigue. I have given myself the task of memorizing the seven movements of this Partita by the time I leave for Summer Sizzle in mid August. BUT WHY??
