It seems I don't have time to make huge updates to the site these days, but I have added new information to Studio Central. Students can check out Ask the Teacher and find out who the October Celebrity of the Month is.

It's been too crazy to do much in the way of updates. However, I did update the Lesson Swap List and Studio Timetable on the main site (for students and parents only) and posted a quick link on Musings.
My article Rhythm & Flow, which draws parallels and contrasts between music and the martial art of Iaido has just been published in The Iaido Journal. Enjoy!
