When I did my masters degree at the New England Conservatory, I took a class called "Writing About Music" taught by one of my favorite teachers of all time, Helen Greenwald. I discovered with her help that I really enjoyed writing and perhaps to some degree that's what spurred this blog. The point of the class was to learn how to write about music in a scholarly style and to learn how to use a library and the Internet for research. For my "big" paper, I chose the life and works of Samuel Barber, in particular Vanessa, a much neglected opera written towards the end of his life.
