		<description><![CDATA[December is National Bingo Month. In honor of such a fine game, I&#8217;m sharing with you a little Musical Bingo that I whipped up. I&#8217;ve generated a &#8220;call list&#8221; that includes: Musicians Instruments Styles/Genres Terms But instead of calling the terms, listen for them. The categories listed above are organized into the B-I-N-G-O columns. But instead of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When did you learn about the Circle of Fifths? I learned about it in a high school music theory class. You know &#8211; it&#8217;s the sequence of notes laid out in a circle. When you go clockwise through the circle, each note is separated an interval of a fifth. And almost right away I realized [...]]]></description>

When I signed up for an all-day writing workshop last November, little did I know how it would affect me and my daily life. I&#8217;ve been meditating daily for a year. Yes, we did writing exercises. We did movement exercises [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when musicians speak, it may sound like a foreign language to non-musicians. It may sound that way to brand-new musicians too. Have you ever heard a conversation like this? &#8220;Did you hear that cat blow?! She&#8217;s got great chops. And her ax is rad!&#8221; &#8220;Oh yeh, she&#8217;s got a great setup on that horn.

		<description><![CDATA[Memories from my undergraduate days at Indiana State University: hanging out in the Listening Library. When I wasn&#8217;t in a practice room (or playing pinochle in the practice building&#8217;s lounge!), I was in the Listening Library; headphones on, head on the desk, resting on my arms. Each week we had a new list of music to [...]]]></description>
