My Summer Vacation by Edward Weiss

Well, let me first say that I don’t ‘do’ much. That is, I’m a homebody. I like to relax here in San Diego.

Everything is here. Ocean? Check. Forest? Check. Mountains? Check again. And the weather? The best in the U.S. some say. And I’d agree.

Having said that, I’ve been busy working on my new CD ‘Forest Solitude.’ Those of you who know me also know this CD’s been in the works for a few years.

But I’m very confident of having this new music available by the beginning of 2013. I plan to do a trilogy focusing on nature themes.

The first one as you know is titled ‘Forest Solitude’ and will contain nature sounds mixed with solo piano music from yours truly. In fact, the picture on this blog post is actually a song that will be on it.

Anyway, back to work. I've got a lot to do. :)

Yours musically,
Edward Weiss

Feeling Less than Creative? Ask the Right Questions

Just came across this interesting article about asking open ended questions instead of closed ones to get answers.

You know, instead of asking yourself something like ... "Can I become a better improviser?" you ask an open ended question like this "How can I become better at improvisation?"

See the difference? One only allows for a single answer. The other lets you ruminate and discover answers you may not have thought about it.

This strategy is really a good one to uncover answers to problems you might have - creative or otherwise. Read the entire article here.
