The freedom to make records. Deep down, most artists want the ability to create the music, art, and image they love. The problem comes down to deciding between art and business. In Art, you can do almost anything you desire, that’s different than business. Sometimes you’re lucky, and they both live in the same house […]
Listening Edge Records
Listening Edge Records on Patreon.
If you’ve visited my website, you’ll know what this is all about by now. I’ve been teaching for over 25 years, and for 22 years, I’ve taught in person before switching to teaching exclusively online. As the 2023 academic year grows to a close, students go on holidays, and I have a few months off […]
Listening Edge Records & Bach To Basics Music

I created this website and channel as an extra learning resource for my students interested in […]
Ok, I was surprised by streaming
I have to admit I was surprised by streaming. I’m a full-time private online music instructor, not a performer; I have no desire to quit my day job and tour, not that I could. I guess I’m unlike many musicians in that regard. I’m not overly fond of promoting my albums; I don’t. Some of […]
We live in an excellent time for recording
We live in an excellent time for recording. If you stumbled across my first blog post for my website Illustrious Sound, you might remember me talking about my first studio and having to save data to a data cassette. Can you imagine saving your projects to a data cassette? I can’t believe that was the […]
