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!

Subscribe now for the first year only(starting September 8th 2010) and stay locked into the introductory price annually for the next 5 years should you wish to continue.
$145 annually.

Here is the first class for your discernment, practice, scrutiny and joy.

Philosophy of lesson # 1:

Just as people have different capablities with what they can do with physical movement due to physical immaturity, lack of development, genetic defects or wounding, people have different capabilities with how well they can hear, and understand emotions. What gymnastics can be to the body, art can be to the heart of the individual and society.

Musical piece of lesson # 1: Celestial Light Ringing : Buy on MUSIC PAGE to subscribe and hear in full first. PLEASE NOTE: This is a long piece, if you can't receive it via email, then you need to upgrade your system in order to receive your pieces and subscription. No refunds are given. If you are not certain if you can receive this, then ask me to send you this one piece via email for free.

Listen to this piece several times as you wish at different times of day and night in a meditative position for one lunar cycle. Focus your attention on your breathing and observe your emotions as you listen to the music.

Keeping a journal of your observations is encouraged.

Meditation of lesson # 1:
The primary 5 step focus (each step lasting approximately one minute)
Step #1 : while maintaining awareness of the souls of your feet and with eyes closed while preferably in a sitting position simply observe your breathing for approximately one minute

Step # 2: continue step one and add to your focus all you can hear

Step #3: continue step two and add to your focus all you can smell as you deliberately breathe deeper and slower

Step # 4: continue step three and add to your awareness your current emotions

Step # 5: continue step four, touch fingertips together pinky to pinky and so on, open eyes and equally observe what you can see along with your other senses



Discipline lesson # 1: Every time you walk through a doorway for the next lunar cycle, be as conscious as possible of the souls of your feet and your emotional state.

What do you observe?

Extra assignment which is very liberating: Avoid seeing all physical reflections and images of yourself for one lunar cycle. Keep a journal of your observations of your emotions and the emotions of others.

Now imagine following this course each month for one year, now for five years in a row! Tide is rising, subscribe now to receive lessons and music directly into your email inbox on a monthly basis for one year.

Musically yours,

Kathryn
