The Failure of Superwoman: A Young Composer's Confession

The Failure of Superwoman : A Young Composer's Confession  (Originally Published 2010) In this poignant confession, an overworked mother shares her daily struggles of work and family while giving a seed of hope to working mothers the world over.  My friends call me Superwoman.  Singlehandedly I juggle work, music, and motherhood , and still manage to get a healthy dinner on the table before my husband comes home at night. You can find me lecturing on Baroque Music and Beethoven at the local university, composing electronic music for my opera until the late hours of the night, teaching my baby girl proper fingering on the piano, and trying to find ways to buy organic vegetables while cutting my grocery budget by another ten percent. I appreciate the empowerment my mother's generation gave to Generations X and Y. We grew up believing that we could have it all. Despite all of the bad publicity for being "slackers", we believed that a woman could perfectly bal...

Free Piano Vocal Sheet Music Download: Wedding Song for Mother and Son

Free Piano Vocal Sheet Music Download:  Wedding Song for Mother and Son I was originally commissioned to complete this wedding song for the Pray for Gray leukemia fund, which fundraised with a private auction to help a close friend's family as their young son struggles through leukemia.  (If you would like to find out more about Gray, please click on the box to the right to go to the Pray for Gray Facebook page ).  The work is simple, beautiful, and meant to be written from the point of view of a mother to her son on his wedding day. The lyrics of the chorus repeat in a lilting waltz: Standing here  on your wedding day From a boy to a man, my baby Holding your dreams and hopes so close And your wife, closer still As the clock ticks time away As the clock ticks time away The words have been changed slightly from the original version.  I hope that you enjoy this composition. Feel free to play and perform the work, and feel free to contact me if...

Hello Everyone, As we get ready to take a break for Christmas , I thought I would share one of the projects I worked on this semester. It is a relaxation album specifically for mothers and children , but it also is very relaxing for just about anyone. There is a free download of the entire album here : http://www.easyeartraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/RelaxationPlayer/ Angels Take Flight The flowing rhythms and melodies of the marimba embrace you and your child in a warm auditory embrace. Fluid melodies, repeating, enclosed within circles of luscious synthesized chords, send you into a heavenly realm of sweet slumber. Eva Sleeps Tonight The simple melody of the lullaby, sparse and innocent, conjures up feelings and emotions associated with sleep and childhood. Single notes play together like children. Before the Dawn Soothing arpeggios and orchestral strains greet your ears with pleasing chords and a melody that wanders and wavers...
