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!

Poem: Save the Moon

Save the Moon

Amidst distant stars
invisible waters
indifferent air
passing traffic
and weightless feet

she descends
no echoing in her breast
no flicker in her eyes
no witness to torn clothing, caked blood, or purpling of bruises

save the moon

with her deafening flag

now the mermaids hear the tides screaming
