Dear Guests, Welcome to my blog which I treat like a creative garden where I regularly plant and change this and that be it poetry, philosophy, an Oboe Brilliance lesson, an essay of some kind, or a journal about composing. Visit every Monday for oboe coaching which is also helpful for many melodic instrumentalists. Musically yours, Kathryn

"How do you compose?" That is the most commonly asked question I hear.
This blog is a window into my creative process and philosophies as a composer and instrumentalist. At times it may contain music, photos, and poetry as well. May you enjoy, return, and benefit!

Oh my. Where do I begin? How do I begin? Where do I go? What happens now, and where is this going? What is the expression? What is the gist of this piece? What do I have to express? Why am I composing this? How does this feel? Where does this want to go? What else can I do? Who will play it? Who will hear it? Why am I doing this?
