I have decided to start a new personal project which I am calling the “New Tune a Week Project (NTWP). The project includes three major goals:

• Increase knowledge of my current audio software and hardware
• Create either a new composition or performance recording each week
• Document the process to create new tutorials for this site and future courses

While I have been using my software for several versions, I have never delved into it’s depths, and after paying for so many upgrades, it’s about time I get my monies worth. Since this is a Friday, to start this project off I’m posting a tune I wrote a few years ago that I’ve recently updated.

TO: School of Music Faculty & Staff
SUBJECT: Out of Office

I will be out of the office for at least the next two weeks and possibly three for the upcoming birth of our (Hope & I) son. I have made arrangements to come in twice a week for half days to try and keep up with any requests you may have for the fall semester. I will also make individual appointments as necessary for either consultation or training purposes. In the past, I have always done work on a “submitted” basis, but due to the circumstances, I ask that you please give a time frame for the use of any material that you need prepared for Blackboard. In other words, if you need it for the first two weeks of class, please let me know and I will get to that first. If it is material that will be used later in the semester, I will get to it in a timely manner.

There should be a file drop on my door in the near future so you may leave any PDF requests in that instead of handing them to the office (no mailbox anymore). Thanks for your understanding and patience.
