Here's the second half of my two-part series on things I learned going to school for music.  If you're just starting out on the journey, or if you'd like some reminders of your majoring in music basics, these are the blog posts for you!

Check out the first part here if you missed it.

Stay tuned for Part Two of "5 Things I Learned as a Freshman Music Major!"  The positive responses to the first half so far have been great!  (Read Part One Here)

I'd like to take a quick step away from that, though, and post my first equipment review!  I decided to try something different and make a video review.

This time, we'll be taking a look at the Silverstein Works tenor saxophone ligature.  I got this directly from the people at Silverstein Works who wanted me to check it out and put up some comments about what I thought.  If you're not into the full-length video, check below for some "Quick Facts."

           The end of summer draws neigh.  While I’m sitting here continuing to try and figure out this “real life” thing (I’ve stumbled upon the cure for the common cold, though that’s not related to my field, so I tossed the paperwork), many of my potential readers are preparing to go back to school.  Though I have both physically and emotionally finished with my undergraduate years of music school, I can’t help but think about my first year at Rowan University as a jazz education major and how different those experiences were from all my other years there.
