“Carol of the Bells”: Will it synth?? To me this is a silly question because, technically speaking, any song can be rearranged for synths; so this is not a question of can it, but in YOUR opinion, should it???? Yes, I’m leaving the decision in your capable, albeit sometimes, highly opinionated perspectives. This is going to be a share your thoughts with the entire class situation here!

Did you ever think of crossing synthesizers with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol? Well, are you in for a ride! Not only did I do weird things with this 1951 version of this Christmas classic, but I also discovered something surprising with the original score that lent to the creative process!   MUSICIANS!

I woke up today, and felt the need to synth freestyle with my Moog DFAM and some growl-y Mini V3. Honestly, this is coming from a need to create, and I've been slacking on the creativity front lately. I could blame my crazy schedule, constantly being in a position to teach (not play), or any other excuse for that matter, but I need to just do it, and not over analyze here, so I am! I hope you enjoy this, and I hope it inspires you to get up and create yourself!

Musicians, I think we’ve all been here, and maybe felt sheepish about asking for something in order to perform well. The fact is that you need it, and should be confident to verbalize your needs. It doesn’t reflect badly on you as a musician, and it shouldn’t alter other musician’s perspective of how valuable what you bring to the table is. So I just want to drop this bit of encouragement, and let you know you’re not alone if you’ve ever felt obligated to basically play with one hand tied behind your back. ‌To watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5ls_YNHuYSQ MUSICIANS!
