I must apologize for the time that I've taken to answer some of your videos...I have been composing an oboe sonata for someone that has taken me much more time and energy than I anticipated. It was due a few weeks ago. I am still writing the 3rd (last) movement as I write this message. I don't compose classical things very often, and it has taken over my life. Along with my touring June 27-29 and July 2-6, and ten days of very bad bronchitis in the middle of it (I had to take antibiotics and prednisone) it has been very hard to switch into my teaching mode for the past few weeks. I LOVE answering videos, love the school. I will be done with this piece by tomorrow and then I will get to everything.

Sincere Apologies,

Howard
