		<title>Quantum Leaps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever made a quantum leap in your practicing? You&#8217;ve tried, and tried. Put in more and more effort. Doggedly plugged away forever. And still you don&#8217;t get it. Until one day, you let go somehow. Maybe you stepped away for a while, and you&#8217;re less invested in getting it perfect now. And lo [...]]]></description>

		<title>You can be a good musician. Or, you can be&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I discovered a wonderful blog by Jeffrey Agrell and Evan Mazunik on improvisation. They recently posted an equally great quote by podcast interviewee Stephen Nachmanovitch which I think bears repeating: &#8220;You don’t have to practice boring exercises, but you have to practice something. If you find the practice boring, you don’t run away from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Announcing: Enhanced Lessons!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How are things in your musical world? Otherwise? I have been busy this fall with the onset of a new group of young violin students. Enthusiastic, full of energy &#8211; often hard to direct that energy towards the study of the violin, but that is the special joy/challenge of grade schoolers! However, I have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>PAMA Symposium Highlights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been back from the PAMA symposium for about 2 weeks or so, but it hardly feels that way as I&#8217;ve had a lot to mull over.

		<title>Off to the Performing Arts Medicine Association symposium!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m off tomorrow morning to the PAMA symposium in Snowmass, Colorado! I&#8217;m really excited to meet authors and interviewees that I&#8217;ve admired from afar. I&#8217;m a tad nervous about traveling with my violin, however. I know, I know &#8211; the cellists are scoffing at me. I just am hoping there won&#8217;t be any issue with [...]]]></description>
