Valentine's Day

Yes, My [Future] Kids Will Watch Cinderella
I think it’s fair that if you say the words “Disney Princess,” the first character people will associate with that phrase will be Cinderella. It’s her castle gracing the center of Walt Disney World in Orlando, her soundtrack is one of the most famous, and she was also one of the first Disney movies toContinue reading “Yes, My [Future] Kids Will Watch Cinderella”
Music Around the World: Afghanistan
My junior year of college, my Music History class was assigned a project to research the native music of a foreign country we’d never visited to present to the entire class.
