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!

Dear Guests,
Happy New Year! I've just started creating "musical relish". As the name implies - it is a little something extra to add to enliven a meal. In this case the meal is either meditating sonically for chakras work for instance, or for how I use it specifically which is for practicing intonation work. Relish in E Phrygian is a generous 4 minutes of tonic, dominant, and notes in E Phrygian to hear while playing an instrument for the purpose of intonation practice and improvising within this mode. E Phrygian is e to e all natural and was favored - so I read - by the goddess and gia religions of the past. I just love the Phrygian mode as it is so beautiful. For me, all playing is a meditation of sorts, and practicing intonation is deeply multi dimensional, so this is really an intonation meditation for technical,emotional, physical, and if one chooses, spiritual practices. Integrity - meaning - integrating the mental, emotional, physical, etc realms - is what this relish is made to help us achieve. This is a meditation to stir, nurture and get more in tune, the instrument that we are individually. You can hear it in full on the website - on the music page - for practice purposes and/or you can buy it for $8 in order to receive other "Relish" pieces throughout the year in your personal email to own. So in other words, for $8 you can buy a subscription to receive custom "Sonic Relish" to use for your purposes. Musically yours, Kathryn P.S. ( Wishing you a musical year full of joy and fulfillment.) |
