So I have to admit that I'm a bit of a fraud. I've noticed that I'm not super-confident in my ability to write about music, and I realized it's because I don't READ nearly enough about music. So to go along with my resolution to blog more, I resolve to read twice as much. Here are some of the blogs contributing to my growth as a music writer:
1. Arts Beat, NYTimes.com
2. Music News, NPR
3. All Songs Considered, NPR
4. The Rest is Noise, Alex Ross (music critic for The New Yorker)
5. Nico Muhly, composer
Also, Corey is in this awesome class this semester that coincides with a new music festival put on by the San Francisco Orchestra and the spring season of concerts put on my the University Music Society. I plan to attend ALL of the concerts with him and report back. I am particularly excited to see the rarely performed opera Einstein on the Beach by Phillip Glass. (I have a feeling Corey will like it more than Faust.)
