There may be no school to teach you how to play the violin. That’s what happened to one man who was studying to be a musician in the 1970s, but couldn’t afford a private school for his child. This man found his way to the Boston Public Schools (BPS), but the schools are run by […]
I was playing guitar and playing piano when I was younger. The difference now is that I can still sing and play guitar, and when the song I’m playing comes through and I sing with the wrong hand, my voice starts to get a little quieter and I can’t get the right pitch. To make […]

I guess so. You have two sisters, I think you might know them by name? Yeah. When did you meet them? What happened the first time you met them? I was in the eighth grade, and we went to the same school, and I got introduced to them. So did he ask you to play […]
Or teach myself to dance? Can I dance? As a composer, pianist, composer of music, singer, or dancer, there are a number of things I’m good at.
