These are my notes about the book “The Art of Listening” by Anthony Arnone.

I continue to work on exercises and tunes for learning first position.

These are my notes about the book “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman.

These are my notes about the book “Bach: The Cello Suites” by Edward Klorman.

These are my notes about the book “Probably Overthinking It” by Allen B. Downey.
