Randy Sutin sent this to me. This cat is TRULY amazing.

Good times at UD

Reminisce about all those good times you hard or wish you were there for.

My great and dear friend and phenomenal violinist Diane Monroe never ceases to amaze me with her wisdom. At a workshop yesterday she said something that I thought was pretty profound.

We were playing in front of a bunch of really talented violinists and Diane was talking about rhythm. She said "Mozart was known for being a melodic genius, but thing was he was first a rhythmic genius". Then she began to explain that rhythm is the essential ingredient for being a melodic genius. That's what made Mozart a melodic genius.

Here are all the lessons from our TOTM, 'My Romance'.

Here are a bunch of lessons already up on the site based on the tune, My Romance.
These items are supplemental to our TOTM studies.

Here are the studies from our 'Tune of the Month' Club. You can do the lessons at any time. They should take about a week each to complete. They're Organized by the name of the tune.

Everyone:

I've been communicating with Tony and here's what we came up with for the Tune-of-the-Month Group (TOTM):

First week:
• Find and listen to 3 versions of the tune. You may have to buy them. Don’t just get them off YouTube. This way, you’ll have them to listen to anytime. Share which versions of the tune you’re listening to with the others in the group.

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article on the modern business of writing song lyrics. See http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527487041649045754218135164517….
