		<description><![CDATA[I’m very pro-composer.  I founded a national arts organization, the Bassoon Chamber Music Composition Competition, to provide composers with the opportunity for exposure.  But I am not a composer.  I have no skills to write original melodies.  I am an instrumentalist.  And sometimes I wonder if we’re on the same team. I’ve worked with a [...]]]></description>

For someone who&#8217;s not a regular member of an orchestra, that&#8217;s a lot. It also doesn&#8217;t count all the singing I do in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last October, Florida governor Rick Scott was lambasted for his comments against anthropologists, claiming that producing more “was not in the vital interest of the state” given the current state of the economy. A “war on anthropology” (as coined by one NPR editorial) erupted in the following weeks. Some consensus was reached that, in fact, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a recovering perfectionist. When I was younger&#8211;a teenager, and later a college student&#8211;I was sunk deep in my perfectionist disorder. At 17, I remember winning second chair at a regional band festival, and calling my mother in tears. Second chair? That&#8217;s first loser! Mom listened for about five minutes and then hung up on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike instrumentalists, singers have the advantage of being able to use their ears to create their melodies, without even having to know or learn where to put their fingers. We can listen and repeat. This has its drawbacks too, of course, because it can mean singers lag behind other musicians when it comes to reading [...]]]></description>

I think of her as my &#8220;little black raincloud,&#8221; because she has a comeback for every compliment. We start every lesson in pretty much the same way. She comes in, sits down, gets her flute out, and tells [...]]]></description>
