It&#8217;s been ages that I&#8217;ve written a blog post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here I am again, still trying to muddle through all the small and bigger challenges of this global pandemic that has affected the musical part of my life in a big way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to go on about how hard it is that concerts and recitals are cancelled and that livestreaming directly from &#8222;my&#8220; churches isn&#8217;t possible due to slow internet connection and that I miss my singing students and my choirs and all the rest, but I want to keep my eyes on the future and on my plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s still the possibility that concerts and recitals will be possible this year, so I will continue to work on my programmes and I have lots of ideas for new pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this blog, I have decided that I will concentrate on writing about music. In the past, &#8222;musical&#8220; blog posts have had more attention than everything else and one funny thing is that when I search e.g. for &#8222;organ music&#8220; and &#8222;female composers&#8220;, my own blog posts come up in the &#8222;top 10&#8220; of the search results, so I guess that&#8217;s pointing me into that direction, too. \ud83d\ude09 Of course I will still write about other topics whenever I feel like it and I will also make sure to write in both German and English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m currently testing a new online format to bring organ music to people who don&#8217;t have the possibility to visit a church and listen to music there and as soon as I can say more about it, I will. I&#8217;m also working on offering online voice training, so if you&#8217;re interested in this, just drop me a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/andijah.wordpress.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">line<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I would like to share an article by my musician friend <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondthenotescoaching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Erica Sipes<\/a> where she writes about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/melaniespanswick.com\/2021\/05\/02\/flipping-musical-misperceptions-on-their-heads-erica-sipes\/\" target=\"_blank\">musical misperceptions<\/a> and it&#8217;s really worth reading! The article resonated with me in several ways and I hope I&#8217;ll find the time to write something about this, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, I hope you&#8217;ll come back to this blog every once in a while and thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, yes, I know.
